ORANGE COOKIES WITH ICING

Sharing an easy recipe for orange cookies with a light, orange flavored icing. 

Don’t you love it when you try a new recipe and it tastes better than you imagined? The orange cookies with icing are super yummy. Pin these cookies to this list.  They come out of the oven like little pillows on a cookie sheet. They are surprisingly filling so there is no instinct to grab three when one might do the trick.

I found this recipe from my blog friend, BonBon on her blog.

Orange cookies with icing are the perfect transitional cookie this time of year- when thoughts of baking creep back into my brain as the temperatures drop a smidge.

The icing is really easy and if you are a baker you likely have everything in the pantry. You do need an orange and orange juice for the icing. I used fresh-squeezed orange juice.

The ingredient list was simple which is always a good thing with my track record for messing up recipes.

The finished dough is kinda sticky and dense which gives you a clue to their puffy exterior when they come out of the oven.
