These orange cookies came to me "by accident". I was making my anisette cookies and I had a divine revelation.

OK, I really didn't. But I thought, "What the heck, lemme experiment with orange zest and fresh squeezed orange juice. And WOW - I looooooove these.

Now, don't panic because of the anise. It's very very very slight and YOU DON'T have to use it. We use it tons in Italian cookie recipes . But, you're the cook. You're in charge. Yes! The kitchen is one of the places I get my way. (Ok I get my way a lot - but I don't let my family think I do.)

These orange cookies are wonderfully fresh - IF you actually squeeze your orange juice. BUT don't panic. There many substitutions and ideas you can check those out below. These are one of those one bowl easy to make cookies. So if your hurting your brain for a last minute idea - here you go!

Thanks for visiting my site. It's a heck of a lot of fun for me to actually write it and feel like I'm touching the world and not just isolated in my kitchen. Thanks for stopping by -
