Tips:

Use fresh oranges. This will give your cookies the best flavor. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use orange juice concentrate, but be sure to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe accordingly.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them get crispy.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them keep their crispness.
