Steps:
- Cut a 1-inch chunk off one end of a carrot at an angle. Roll the carrot a quarter turn and cut another 1-inch chunk at an angle. Continue rolling and cutting all of the carrots into 1-inch chunks. Combine the carrots and orange juice in a large saucepan. Add enough water to just cover the carrots. Add the butter and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced to a glaze, about 20 minutes. Top with the dill and serve.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, ensure that you measure and gather all the necessary ingredients and utensils. This will help you save time and avoid any hassle during the baking process.
- Use Fresh and High-Quality Ingredients: To achieve the best flavor and texture, use fresh and high-quality ingredients. This includes using fresh carrots, oranges, butter, and eggs.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar Properly: Properly creaming the butter and sugar is crucial for achieving a light and fluffy texture in your cookies. Make sure to cream them together until they are light and fluffy, and the sugar has dissolved.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can lead to tough and dense cookies. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, and avoid overworking the dough.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven. This will result in thicker and chewier cookies.
- Bake the Cookies at the Right Temperature: Baking the cookies at the correct temperature is essential for achieving the desired texture and flavor. Make sure to preheat your oven to the specified temperature before baking and follow the recipe's instructions carefully.
- Don't Overbake the Cookies: Overbaking the cookies can make them dry and crumbly. Keep a close eye on them while they are baking, and remove them from the oven as soon as the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
