Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Step 2
Beat the cream cheese, butter, sugar, and orange zest until fluffy.
Step 3
Mix in the egg. Scrape the sides of the bowl.
Step 4
In another bowl, sift together the salt, flour, and baking powder.
Step 5
Stir the flour mixture into the butter and sugar and mix until just combined.
Step 6
Drop the cookies in tablespoons on the baking sheets and bake 10-13 minutes, rotating the pans once halfway through baking. The cookies won't really change color, but you'll notice a very light golden tint around the bottom edge. You can also pick one up to check color.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to rest on the pan 2 minutes before transferring to a rack set over parchment to cool.
Step 8
Once the cookies are cool, mix together the glaze ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Start with 2 tablespoons of water and add more as needed to create a smooth glaze. Dunk the tops of the cookies in one at a time, gently shake off the excess, then return the cookie to the cooling rack so the icing can set.
Step 9
Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to one week.
