Very good cookies. I used 2 tsp of lemon zest and lemon juice instead and double the amount of cinnamon. I rolled the dough into balls. Half of them I pressed with the bottom of a glass jar (covered with parchment paper to prevent sticking) and then decorated them. The other half I made into thumbprint cookies with strawberry jam in the middle. Baked in my oven for 13 minutes and they are great!

I made these cookies for a High School Senior Girls Mother/Daughter Tea. I followed the recipe exactly as listed, and the cookies turned out fantastic! Honestly, well above my expectations. They formed well and held up, even in my humid/hot kitchen. I would recommend these cookies to anyone looking for a great spritz cookie recipe!

This is my first time making spritz cookies and the recipe is great! I love the orange zest that gave an extra flavor to the cookie. The batter came out of the cookie press easily. I would definitly try this again with different flavor.

This is a fabulous recipe for pressed (or Spritz) cookies! I made a batch for Christmas this year and these cookies disappeared in less than a day! Thank you for a great recipe!

These cookies were pretty good, but I do have to agree with those before me and say that the cream cheese and orange zest do NOT compliment each other. Next time I would definitely omit the zest. I also increased the cinnamon a tad, as other reviewers mentioned. The positives of this recipe were that the dough was very easy to work with and the cookies had a great texture. I would give this recipe another try.

These tasted like orange cream cheese. If that appeals to you, by all means, try it. I thought the flavors would come together and compliment each other, but they really didn't. One good thing about the cookies: great texture. Flavor needs some work.

These cookies were just okay. I felt they were a little greasy. I was excited by the cinnamon and the orange zest, but I can add that to any butter or spritz cookie. I have other recipes I think yield a better result.

Very easy to make. Didn't care for orange zest but Joshua loved it. Tried with lemon zest but you need to put in quite a bit before flavour comes out. The raw dough was tastier than the actually cooked cookies. Will look for even a better cookie recipe. This was good though but not fabulous.

These were perfect. They came out great using a cookie press, the dough was easy to work with. I didn't have orange zest so I used some almond extract instead. Lovely cookies. I also tried one of the top rated recipes that did not have cream cheese and it was dry and hard to work with. These were much better. Thanks.
