Orange sugar cookies
Cookies
This is based on an old recipe my Mom made when she lived in Boston after college. According to her, it was one of the first recipes she and her roomies learned how to bake! At that point they flavored it with frozen oj concentrate, but since then Mom and I have graduated to using orange zest. I find that the texture is somewhere between cakey and chewy, and I love the great citrus flavor that is not overly sweet. Since chilling the dough is a key part of making this sugar cookie I find the best timeline for me is to make the dough during my daughter's afternoon naptime, let the dough chill all afternoon, then bake the cookies after she has gone to bed.
