Simple Orange Cookies

Orange Cookies: In my early days of baking I was not a fan of orange flavor in baked treats. For some reason, it didn’t appeal me at all. I don’t know when and how the transformation happened and I fell in love with anything orange flavor, be it cakes, cookies, muffins, anything, and everything!

I especially love the orange flavored easy eggless vanilla cupcakes I bake quite often. Orange cookies I have never tried so when I saw a recipe for the same I was very eager to try it.

It is a very

simple recipe for orange sugar cookie made from scratch using orange zest. I did want to incorporate some fresh orange juice too in the cookie but the recipe didn’t have room for it. Nevertheless, the cookies did have a very good citrus flavor and the scent just from the orange zest alone.

I’m thinking that you can make these orange cookies more fancy with some fresh orange juice and icing sugar glaze. Hopefully can get to it one of these days. But let me assure you that these orange sugar cookies tasted great even without any of those frills! The kitchen was filled with a pleasant orange scent which really lifted my mood.
