Orange drops are delightful, zesty cookies that combine the freshness of orange zest with the richness of almonds. They make a perfect treat for any occasion and are quite simple to prepare. Here's how to make these delicious cookies step-by-step.
- Make sure to zest only the outer, colored part of the orange peel and avoid the white pith, which can be bitter.
- For a more intense orange flavor, consider adding a small amount of orange juice along with the zest.
- Toast the almonds lightly before adding them to enhance their flavor and crunchiness.
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature to make it easier to mix with sugar and create a smooth batter.
- If you prefer a finer texture, you can use almond meal instead of whole almonds.
And there you have it – homemade orange drops! These cookies are bursting with citrus flavor and have a wonderful, slightly crunchy texture thanks to the almonds. Enjoy them with a cup of tea or serve them at your next gathering to impress your guests.
