These are great! Not necessarily a dipping cookie, the icing is the best part! I increase the orange juice, as it takes about half an orange for the zest and half an orange produces more juice than called for (waste not want not!). You can decrease the second baking time for a softer, more crumbly cookie. Works well doubled too. Leave room on the tray, these spread.
