I used an icing bag to pipe drops of the cookie batter onto parchment... perfect! These have great flavor, I didn't use the orange extract because I did not have any on hand (used King Arthur's Princess Cake flavoring, which has a citrus flavor). These cookies were enjoyed by all who had them.

I just had to try these cookies. I doubled the recipe for my Christmas baking and had fun with the grandkids making them. We sprinkled them with holiday colors before baking and the kids LOVED THEM!!!

I tried these today as I love a citrus flavor. They were quick and easy. I only got 36 cookies so I was a bit more generous but it is nice to have a smaller batch as I live alone and if I don't share them, I eat too many!! They were just wonderful.
