Orange Spritz Cookies
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 25 min. Bake: 10 min./batch
YIELD: about 5-1/2 dozen.
Brown sugar gives these spritz cookies a lovely light caramel tint. This variation has a rich buttery shortbread taste and texture with a hint of orange flavor. They are a delightful addition to my holiday cookie tray.
