These are so good. The cookie is like a little orange cake, but the frosting is what makes these so delicious. The frosting really adds the orange flavor to these cookies. I only made a third of this recipe and ended up with 27 cookies. They lasted about 3 days and were starting to get a little gooey, so I think if you don't have a lot of people to eat these right away, you may want to cut the recipe down.

These were good, very different. They're like cupcake cookies. If you sliced the top off a cupcake and added frosting, then this is what these would taste like. They firm up a little bit more though. There's good yield in this recipe and everyone loved them.

I remember these from my childhood. Mrs. Bluestone (neighbourhood grandma) used to make them for all the kids.... Tender, cakey, orangey...just delicious. The only modification I made was to swap the sour cream for yoghurt, but only because I'm more likely to have it on hand.

This was good cookie base. I divided it 3 ways: with mini choco chips, with macadamia nuts and lastly, with macadamia nuts and shredded coconut. I liked the mac nut and coconut combo the best. I didn't make the glaze and I think I should have so it would taste more orangy.

This recipe my husband and I made together. He is the real taste tester of the family. This turned out better than the ones his mom makes. The flavoring couldnt get any better.If you loke the taste of orange this is the cookie for you. Thanks for the great recipe!

Tried these as a Christmas cookie and the family really liked them. These are cake-like, as I have found with any cookie that has sour cream in the batter. The yield on this recipe is correct...I got 6 dozen cookies! The frosting however, I had to triple because it wasn't nearly enough and I wasn't over-frosting, mine looked just like the ones in the picture. Next time I'll probably half the dough recipe and double the frosting.

YUMMMMMYYYY these cookies are light and refreshing in a sea of sweet cookies; the icing only needs 1 tablesspoon of orange zest. and if you can mix the canned zest with REAL orange rind, what a difference.. REFRESHING.. love this cookie. Merry Christmas.

I made these a few yers ago and now they want them every year for christmas. I go between 4 & 5 cups flour so there's more orange flavor & you definately need to double the icing .But they are the best orange cookies :)
