Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

In a small bowl mix the orange zest with the sugar. Use your fingers to mix it so that all the sugar gets coated in the citrus zest.

In a large mixing bowl beat the cream cheese, butter, orange juice and the orange zest- sugar mixture for about 2 minutes, until it is fluffy.
Step 4
Add the egg and slowly mix it in.
Step 5
In a separate bowl mix all the dry ingredients- flour, baking powder and salt together.
Step 6
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, while keeping the mixing speed low.
Step 7
Drop the dough on the prepared baking sheet in tablespoon size rounds. Sprinkle a little amount of brown sugar on top of each dough ball.
Step 8
Bake for about 12-14 minutes. The cookies will not change much of a color but the ends and bottom will start browning.

Remove from oven and the cookies completely cool down for about 4-5 minutes.
