Frosted Orange Crisps Pressed Cookies

By Lorraine

Frosted orange crisps are cookies flavored with orange in the dough and topped with a light orange frosting. They are crisp, tender and the citrus provides a nice surprise in each bite. Made using a cookie press similar to spritz or shortbread cookies but are sweeter. Perfect with a cup of tea, coffee or glass of milk.
