Tasteless. Store bought plain gingersnaps are better. The recipe sounded great but fell flat. Won't make again.

Has anyone tried this recipe? I was thinking of adding it to my Christmas cookie tray this year, but with only 2 tsp. orange peel in the whole recipe, I can't see how there would be much of any orange flavor to them.
