Exactly What You Want In An Orange Shortbread Cookie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you’re searching for an orange shortbread cookie, you’re probably after two things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. a buttery, melt-in-your-mouth texture<\/strong>, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. a real orange flavor that actually comes through.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    At least that’s what I want in a shortbread! And thanks to a few rounds of testing, this recipe delivers both. Fresh zest carries all the aromatic citrus oils you can’t get from extract, and the simple dough bakes into tender, no-spread cookies that hold their shape beautifully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They don’t rely on sprinkles or chocolate to stand out, but that bright citrus flavor and the rich shortbread base do all the work. Especially when you add zest to the glaze!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
