About

I posted before about an orange cookie recipe I was working on and now I think I’ve got the recipe just how I want it.

I made some to mail to my friend David (along with a homemade Christmas ornament) and to take to my swim team’s Christmas party. They’re basically sugar cookies with an orange twist and taste suprisingly reminiscent of orange sherbet.
