FAQ
1. Can I use bottled orange juice?
While fresh orange juice will give the best flavor, you can substitute bottled orange juice if needed. Fresh zest, however, will enhance the cookie’s citrusy profile.
2. How do I prevent the cookies from spreading too much while baking?
Make sure the dough is chilled for at least 10 minutes before baking, and don’t flatten the dough too much on the baking sheet. This helps the cookies keep their shape.
3. Can I make the cookies without glaze?
Yes, the cookies are delicious on their own, but the glaze adds an extra level of sweetness and citrus flavor. You can skip the glaze for a simpler version.
