- Spread tops of cookies with orange glaze.
- Orange Glaze: Combine all ingredients; beat until smooth.
Tips:
- Use fresh oranges: Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma for these cookies. If you can, use organic oranges to avoid any pesticides or chemicals.
- Zest the oranges finely: Finely zesting the oranges will help to release the most flavor and aroma. You can use a Microplane zester or a fine grater.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it is combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when they are done. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
