The orange zest made these cookies stand out from your standard sugar cookie. And I loved the egg yolk glaze, so much easier than icing! I’ve always been a little too lazy to decorate with royal icing, but they are good without it! I have also used the egg yolk glaze on sugar cookies I’ve made from a mix, it really makes them special.

These orange-kissed cookies stand out on my Christmas cookie tray. Even the simple egg yolk glaze makes them so pretty. Decorating further, even more fun! These will definitely be on my future cookies trays!

mmmm, I love Christmas and I love cookies. It’s only September, is it too early to start baking Christmas cookies?!

These are a staple with my family now. Every holiday, every time we need to bring a desert or treat, these are always requested. My mom loves them, and that’s saying a lot because she grew up on my grandma’s sugar cookies, which were always phenomenal. It is very important not to over bake them (in my book). They make deliciously soft, tasty cookie. If you ask me they don’t even need the icing to be wonderful.

We made these last year and LOVED them. The kids I babysit had a ball painting on the crazy designs and the ones I did myself looked so pretty! And yumm! Used lemon zest, next time hubbie requests I use orange. Good cookies, I’ll be doing these again next year!

We’ve made this recipe for two holidays now and my kids go NUTS! This is so much easier than having the kids frost cookies (shatter!) and painting? On cookies? They lose their minds it is so fun. And the cookies are delicate and delicious with the hint of citrus zest. Yummy. Make them with your favorite helpers. They will forever remember it.

Finally! This is perfect for Christmas, I’ve been wanting to try out an easy cookie that can also be varied in different ways! It’ll be perfect for all my American friends here in Sweden.
