These were very yummy, but very hard to roll out and very crumbly.

Came out great, but a little firm to taste. I didn't have oj so just squeezed what I could from an orange and then used the zest--may have needed more liquid.

Fine sugar cookie. A little more crunchy, less soft consistency than some other recipes. We frosted ours and the orange flavor didn't come through at all. Basically I'd say a regular sugar cookie recipe, nothing extraordinary.

This was a nice change from the usual sugar cookie recipe! I made it exactly as directed, with the exception of lemon zest instead of orange (it was all I had).The orange juice gave a pleasant but not overpowering flavor, which is what sets it apart. It is also very convenient in that the dough does not need to be chilled. The dough appeared dry in the mixing bowl, but then when I picked it up and squished it together it was able to roll out nicely (you have to be more careful with the cutout shapes though because they are more likely to fall apart than ones made from other doughs). We weren't big fans of the RedHots though- they just don't seem to go well with sugar cookies. And these cookies definitely taste better frosted! Thank you for the recipe- I will definitely make them again.

Yummy~! this was my first sugar cookie. A hint of orange was so yummy. Plus this is nice and soft, but not too soft. I'm giving this 4 just so that i have room just in case if there is anything better.

Has anyone tried doing this recipe in 1/2 only? I tried it, only needed a 24 or 36 batch of cookies, but I got very bad results... the dough was very crumbly and rolled out like a pastry dough. After cooked, it was a little tough (ok with a hot drink), and you couldn't taste much flavour. I do like the idea of this recipe as an Easter Cookie... We get a little tired of the standard sugar cookies right after christmas.

Really good sugar cookies! I cut the sugar down to 3/4 cup (but I changed the servings to 36 because I only wanted to use ½ cup of margarine) and I used one very large egg. I omitted the red hots, and I glazed the cookies with a glaze consisting of icing sugar and orange juice. My three-year old then went crazy with the Easter-themed sprinkles. :) The orange was a nice change, and the lesser amount of sugar made them less sweet enough that my husband (not a fan of sweets) enjoyed. Thanks so much for sharing, Carol!

Had to add some more orange juice to the recipe to make it hold together, other than that, my 9yo son and I had fun putting this one in the oven for Easter cookies. His classmates should be happy with him tomorrow! Thanks!
