My family loves oranges, I buy about 10 or more a week, and they are gone before the week is out. So I like making baked good with some sort of fruit, makes the treat taste better. On my agenda for the day I made these cookies, I was just going to make a Skinny Sugar Cookie, and then I looked at the orange and thought hey let me zest this orange into the cookie dough. So glad I did, these were the most yummiest cookie that I have tasted in a long time, and when they bake it makes your kitchen smell like and orange orchard!
These cookie went like hotcakes, and I got about 42 cookies, which is awesome! My taste testers gave these 2 thumbs up! So these will be added to my to go cookies!
