I've tried many orange almond cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are always moist and flavorful.

I'm allergic to almonds, so I substituted chopped walnuts in this recipe. They turned out great!

I'm not usually a fan of orange-flavored desserts, but these cookies changed my mind. They're so light and fluffy, and the orange flavor is perfectly subtle.

These cookies are so delicious! The orange flavor is really bright and citrusy, and the almonds add a nice crunch. I also love that they're not too sweet.

I love how simple these cookies are to make. I always have oranges and almonds on hand, so I can whip up a batch of these whenever I'm craving something sweet.

These orange almond cookies were a hit at my holiday party! They were so easy to make and had the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. I will definitely be making these again.
