It is that time of year. The time of year when you deck the halls with ribbons, evergreens, and tinsel. The time of year when the kids squeal when they see Santa at the mall and circle every toy in the catalog with a big red marker. It is the time of year when my kitchen reeks of the smell of baked goods rising in the oven.

I love to bake cookies. Dozens and dozens of cookies. Don’t worry I don’t eat them all myself, but I love to give them as gifts! This is one of our family favorites that make a ton of cookies, but everyone is absolutely delicious! You can see more delicious Cookie Recipes right here!

    Yay! I love to bake, too, and am looking forward to including cookies as gifts for friends and family – especially those who live far away! I’ve already got your Samaroons on my list to bake, and these orange cookies sound amazing! Maybe a weekend project for me 😀

    Do you think I could substitute orange extract for the fresh orange? If so, what quantity would you recommend?

    Thanks.

    These were a hit at our house, although a bit too time consuming for my taste because I am all about keeping it fast and simple. Probably all the grating and juicing, but I’m sure that was a key to them being excellent because you can’t beat fresh, organic ingredients. God bless!

  4. These look delicious! I’m going to try making them with a slight variation – I’m adding chocolate chips! I hope they turn out well. 😀

    Are we missing salt in the dry ingredient? Also, I looked up measuring how much juice and zest in 3 oranges. I used Satsumi (smaller size) about 6 of them and it said measuring juice for 3 large oranges about 6 oz. and 6-9 T zest. Does that sound about right?

      You can add 1/4 tsp of salt and it won’t hurt anything. I don’t think I have ever added salt and these turn out great. As far as the orange juice and zest. 6 oz seems about right for the juice and I would say probably about 3-4 tbsp of zest should be enough. Hope that helps!

Orange Cookies Recipe (2024)

FAQs

Is Orange cookie Mac a sativa or indica? ›

Created by Capulator, this highly sought-after sativa is a cross between Orange Cookies and Miracle Alien Cookies (MAC), delivering an uplifting high that will inspire your creativity. With its frosty mossy green appearance and vibrant orange hairs, Orange Cookie MAC is as visually appealing as it is delicious.

Can you substitute orange juice for orange zest? ›

You can swap 2 tablespoons of orange juice for every teaspoon of orange zest. Don't forget the moisture! Its liquid content can mess up your recipe's wet–to–dry ratio, so remember to cut back on other wet ingredients.

What is the secret to chewy cookies? ›

Cornstarch helps product soft and thick cookies. Using more brown sugar than white sugar results in a moister, softer cookie. An extra egg yolk increases chewiness. Rolling the cookie dough balls to be tall and lumpy instead of wide and smooth gives the cookies a bakery-style textured thickness.

How to make chewy vs crunchy cookies? ›

Use a higher ratio of white to brown sugar

While brown sugar keeps your cookies moist and soft, white sugar and corn syrup will help your cookies spread and crisp in the oven. Using more white sugar in your cookies will result in a crispier end product.

Are orange Cookies indica or sativa? ›

Orange Cookies is an indica-dominant hybrid strain.

What are the effects of orange Cookies? ›

Orange Cookies' effects take hold of users quickly, with a buzzy and energetic feeling in the head. This rush is soon met with a palpable body high that is relaxing without being too heavy or immobilizing.

Is it OK to use melted butter instead of softened? ›

Softened butter and melted butter are not the same. Using melted butter will change the texture of whatever you're baking. If you only want the butter to soften for spreading, microwave it on the Defrost setting (30%) in 5-second increments until it's softened as desired.

What does adding cornstarch to cookies do? ›

Cornstarch does kind of incredible things to cookies. I mean not only does it give them soft centers, prevents them from spreading, and makes them somewhat thick (in a good way), but it also contributes to the chewiness factor, which, in my opinion, is the most important cookie attribute.

What does butter do in cookies? ›

The job of butter in baking (besides being delicious) is to give richness, tenderness and structure to cookies, cakes, pies and pastries. We alter the way butter works in a recipe by changing its temperature and choosing when to combine it with the other ingredients.

Why put corn syrup in cookies? ›

So, when you mix corn syrup into your cookie batter, all of that moisture will make and keep your baked cookies deliciously tender. The texture of cookies benefits from corn syrup as well. As you combine your ingredients to make your cookie batter, corn syrup will pull some of the surrounding air into your batter.

Is the Mac a sativa or indica? ›

MAC #1 or “the MAC”, also known as Miracle Alien Cookies, is an Indica-dominant hybrid cross of Alien Cookies x Colombian x Starfighter and grown from a clone cut bred by Dark Heart Nursery in San Leandro, California.

What are the effects of Orange Mac strain? ›

Don't hesitate to roll up a personal preroll of the Orange MAC to take your mind off overthinking, to mend mental strain, enhance physical relief, or producing an overall calm.

Is Orange Apricot Mac indica or sativa? ›

Description: Orange Apricot x MAC Strain is a sativa bred in partnership by Capulator and Obsoul. This elite combination of genetics highlights MAC's rich notes of berries and biscuits with Obsuls's tangy citrus and diesel.

Is Mac Motor strain indica or sativa? ›

Description: MAC Motor Strain is an indica leaning hybrid that delivers powerfully fragrant aromas, breathtakingly beautiful bud structure and delectable flavors to satisfy all tastes. May be best suited for late in the evenings as it may cause a slightly sedating effect.
