Buttery Orange Sugar Cookies image

My husband's grandmother made a variety of cookies every year for her grandkids at Christmastime. She would box them up and give each child his or her own box. This crisp, orange flavored cookie is one of my favorites from her collection.-Heather McKillip, Aurora, Illinois

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oranges. They're also a nice change from the usual chocolate chip cookie.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out flat and crumbly. Not sure what went wrong.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my liking. I might try adding some more butter next time.

Not a big fan of these cookies. The orange flavor was too overpowering for my taste.
