These Homemade Orange Cookies are a family treasure.  That’s right – treasure.

Since I know that a lot of people don’t want to read through long stories to get to the recipe, I’ll shorten it.  My mom has been known throughout the years for giving cookie platters at Christmas that are loaded with a HUGE assortment of her homemade cookies.  Out of a gazillion types of cookies, her Orange Cookies are my favorite.

My mom finally started just making her Orange Cookies at Christmas for my brother and me because it was all that we wanted.  These cookies are light and airy and have just the right amount of sweetness.

You don’t have to wait for Christmas to enjoy these special cookies.  With orange juice and orange zest, they are perfect all year round.
