Orange Gingerbread Tassies image

I make big Christmas cookie plates every year and it's fun to have something with a different shape to include. These have a delicious flavor with the gingerbread and orange, and they are really easy! This is also yummy with lemon zest if you prefer that over the orange. You can also decorate with some candied orange peel if you have it. -Elisabeth Larsen, Pleasant Grove, UT

I had some trouble getting the tassies out of the muffin tin without breaking them, but they were worth the effort.
