Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges provide the best flavor and aroma for these cookies. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can use 1/2 cup of orange juice concentrate thawed and diluted with 1/2 cup of water.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. The cookies are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges and the tops are set.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

Orange crunch cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With their bright citrus flavor and crunchy topping, these cookies are perfect for any occasion.

These cookies are also a great way to use up leftover oranges. So next time you have a few extra oranges on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try.
