I was surprised at how soft the dough was, so I added just a bit more flour when I was making the logs. They turned out great!

Scrumptious! Thank you for sharing this recipe. I reduce sugar and simply added 2 tbs of orange rind, taking advice from previous viewer, the end product aroma was simply mind blowing! I will definitely make this again and again! Love it!

Great! Very easy to prepare. I agree with everybody else, need more orange zest. Next time I will use a Tbls. This recipe is a keep.

I made this for a baby shower sip-and-see and it was a hit!! So many people asked me for the recipe. I added a full TBS of orange zest and did the orange glaze that sweet tooth 23 recommended and it turned out great!!
