Orange Cookies Recipe

Remarks:
– It is important to refrigerate the cookie dough before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. This prevents the butter from melting too quickly in the oven and spreading too quickly.

– The butter must be very cold, not using room temperature butter, or worse, melted.

– For extra sweetness, you can coat these easy orange cookies with frosting. Simply mix together 2 cups powdered sugar, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Drizzle over cooled cookies. Garnish with extra orange zest.

– You can add more toppings. Try slightly bitter orange marmalade or even another fruity jam.

Add almond extract to cookie dough for flavor, it really brings out the orange peel flavor.
