Recipe for Christmas Orange Cookies

36 cookies

It’s that time of year, when all the baking begins. This is one of our favorite cookies to make. One bite into these and it feels and tastes like Christmas. A slight citrus taste and oh so moist.

After mixing everything together I put the dough in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. It seems to make them fluffier.

I added some dried cranberries to this batch and they tasted so good.

The citrus smell of the glaze makes the whole house smell amazing!

Sometimes I add some orange candy on top to help dress them up and let people know what flavor they are.


I hope you like this recipe, let me know if you make them. I always love to hear feedback good or bad.
