Orange Crinkle Cookies
Have you seen these little treats? We often see Lemon Crinkles (and I love them), but this time I wanted to try Orange Crinkle Cookies and I can tell you it’s delicious!
At home, we regularly try to make our own little snacks that we slip into the children’s school bags, so we try various recipes. Well, I must admit that the intention was there but that we ultimately appreciated these little crushed biscuits around tea more… 😉
This recipe can absolutely be made with lemon, it will be exactly the same instructions and ingredients (except for the change of citrus fruits). You can even use a blood orange, it will add a nice touch of red to your crushed cookies.
