I've tried many orange sugar cookie recipes, and this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, and the orange flavor is perfectly balanced.

Easy to make and SO good! I didn't have any orange extract, so I used lemon extract instead. They turned out great!

Delicious! I love the combination of orange and sugar. The cookies are soft and chewy, and they have a nice citrusy flavor.

These cookies were absolutely delightful! The orange flavor was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the sugar, and the texture was soft and chewy. I've made them twice now, and they're a hit with my family and friends.
