ORANGE COOKIES RECIPE

It is that time of year.  The time of year when you deck the halls with ribbons, evergreens, and tinsel.  The time of year when the kids squeal when they see Santa at the mall and circle every toy in the catalog with a big red marker.  It is the time of year when my kitchen reeks of the smell of baked goods rising in the oven.

I love to bake cookies. Dozens and dozens of cookies.  Don’t worry I don’t eat them all myself, but I love to give them as gifts!  This is one of our family favorites that make a ton of cookies, but everyone is absolutely delicious! You can see more delicious Cookie Recipes right here!

I have recently switched it up and made them gluten free and dairy free with excellent results. There are substitutions in the recipe below.
