In a bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, egg, and orange juice, and whisk until well combined.

Gradually fold in the dry ingredients, including orange zest. The dough will be slightly sticky but firm enough to shape.

Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.

Roll the dough into a big circular disc. Cut out a large rectangle, then portion it into evenly sized smaller rectangles.

Wrap the dough in a layer of cellophane and gently flatten it smooth with your hands. Slice the dough into neat rectangular pieces using a sharp knife.

Once the orange cookies are cut into your desired shapes, arrange them on a lined air fryer tray, leaving enough space for them to spread.

Sprinkle a little extra zest on top, then chill the tray in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes before air frying.

Air fry in the preheated air fryer at 160°C for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges and underside of the cookies begin to turn lightly golden.

Switch off the air fryer and leave the cookies inside for another 2–5 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Transfer these lovely golden citrusy crunchy orange cookies in air tight container.
