Orange and vanilla are one of my favorite flavor combinations. I used to eat orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream all the time. These cookies had the same flavors. YUM! These cookies are SO good. I ate way too many of them. I don’t usually eat sweets, but these cookies were way too good to pass up.
These cookies are really easy to make. They start with a bag of sugar cookie mix. Cookie mix is not something that I usually use in the kitchen, but it was a great shortcut for this recipe. They take about 45 minutes from start to finish.
