This cookie recipe is the best orange cookie recipe I have ever tasted. They melt in your mouth.

I have tried these twice and they do run all over the pan, the flavors are great but I cannot serve them without them becoming burned or a crumbly mess... I'll have to try some of the other tips to make them stick more

these cookies are so good

this recipe was delicious! i highly recommend it.

I love the frosting on these! They really are best fresh though. The cookie has a light flavor and the frosting is a great balance of tart and sweet.

Nice recipe. Really lite cookies

I have no idea what happened, but these did not turn out! Instead of spreading and becoming soft and cake-like, they turned out more like orange-scented hard round rocks. I followed the recipe exactly, including cooking time and temperature, so I have no clue what happened.

I didn't have any problems with spreading like some other reviewers. They kept their shape and were pretty cookies. I was just disappointed in the lack of orange flavor. I used fresh oranges from my neighbor's tree, but the flavor just did not come through. They were too sweet and not orangey enough for me.

I used to make these all the time and couldn't find my cookbook with my tried and true recipe. So glad I found this one! I did add an extra half cup of flour due to other reviews. Cookies came out perfect and the icing is awesome. Next time I'll be sure and double the recipe. I highly recommend this one!

I made these for Christmas and they were a big hit with my family. I used margarine instead of shortening and had a problem with the first sheet of cookies being flat and airy. Basically, they fell apart. So, I added more flour and they turned out perfectly. They should look like little drop biscuits. The icing was runny and I had to add more sugar which made it really sweet. But that worked out nicely since the cookies are basically an orange flavored biscuit and a little dry and boring by themselves. In the end, with my changes, they turned out really well and my family very much enjoyed them.

These are wonderful! especially with a cup of coffee.

Mine ran all over the pan as well, I thought it was just too much greasing... I also had to use white whole-wheat flour since it was all I had, which was a bad choice since it was totally the wrong texture and flavor for this light, fresh cookie...oh well.

These are okay. Pretty sweet. Listening to other reviewers, I added an extra 1/2 cup of flour and they kept their shape pretty well. My kids liked them.

Very good. I had no problem with spreading.

I just made these cookies while my hubby was sleeping. He strolled to the kitchen and about 6 cookies disappeared. Very good. Thank you. I will make these again.

This is a good recipe. The icing didn't come out for me, so I added more orange juice, and also orange food coloring so people would know they are orange cookies.

These cookies are very good! I made half batch like suggested, then with the second half I added some chocolate chips. Both ways are awesome! However, these cookies do run all over the pan so next time I make them I will add more flour.

A delicious subtle flavor! Reading the reviews, I added a 1/2 cup flour and more orange peel to liven the flavor. I only baked for 8 minutes exactly. They were perfect: soft inside with crispy bottoms.
