Very good cookies! But i would say they are more like mini cakes shaped like cookies. I didn't have an orange on hand so I used orange marmalade instead. Personally, I think I added a little too much marmalade and not enough concentrated orange juice, but my boyfriend loved them and said they were perfect. The recipe made a ton of cookies for such a small amount of ingredients! And very big cookies, at that. I didn't give this recipe five stars because I personally wasn't "in love" with them but I thought they were delicious. Although... everyone else loved them!

My boyfriend loved these and so did I for that matter! I added a little extra orange zest to increase the intensity of the orange. They were yummy!

They were ok. Using orange juice concentrate is a good idea. It's just tasted like they were missing something.

Wow, these were so tasty and a hit at a cookie exchange I took them to. They stay so soft and moist, even after a couple days. And the orange flavor from the concentrate is just enough. Next time I'll make more frosting (it got a little low at the end). Thanks for the recipe!

This recipe is wonderful! Many orange drop cookies turn our flat, but not these. Regretfully, I used a store brand concentrate. The cookies were tasty, but I think the flavor would have been more intense with a brand name juice. (This still deserves a five star rating, since that was my mistake.) These will look so pretty on a tray of Christmas cookies! Thanks Pamela! :0)

DH & I love these! They *are* tasty with or without the frosting. I wonder if these would be good w/ lemon instead.... Anyone tried it yet?

AWESOME COOKIES! Even before you put the frosting on, the plain cookies are tasty. But, with the frosting . . . YUM!! Thank you for posting this great recipe!

I also found these to be very moist and tasty. They have a natural orange flavor, not an artifical type of orange (like Tang or Kool-aid). Will make again.
