Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a very small dish combine orange peel and orange juice, set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and cream cheese together, add sugar, egg yolk and vanilla and continue beating until fluffy. Add orange peel mixture, then stir in flour and salt. Use a cookie press to form cookies or drop by small spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown on edges. While cookies are cooling, prepare glaze by mixing a tablespoon of orange juice into powdered sugar. Add just enough juice to make a thick, but smooth glaze. Once cookies are cooled, drizzle glaze over top.
