Orange cookies
Description
This treat is made from the most common ingredients. The cookies turn out tender and crumbly, with a pronounced orange flavor and aroma. They will appeal to both children and adults—an excellent choice with a sophisticated taste. The cookies keep well in a tightly sealed container for up to two weeks, although I assure you, they won't last that long at your place! Optionally, you can add chopped chocolate or small chocolate chips. The baked goods are ready. Serve at the table.
