Author Notes
This relies on an outdated recipe my Mother made when she lived in Boston after college. In accordance to her, it used to be one in all the first recipes she and her roomies learned the supreme choice to bake! At that level they flavored it with frozen oj listen, but since then Mother and I bear graduated to utilizing orange zest. I accumulate that the feel is somewhere between cakey and chewy, and I love the giant citrus kind that is no longer overly sweet. Since chilling the dough is a key segment of establishing this sugar cookie I accumulate essentially the most classic timeline for me is to make the dough for the duration of my daughter’s afternoon naptime, let the dough chill all afternoon, then bake the cookies after she has gone to bed. —Kelsey Banfield
