They are wonderfully soft and a touch of nutmeg in them. You could not believe how many memories it brings back to me. This is another memory to enclose to you. This is a sandwich type cookie spread with jam in the center.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cookies evenly. A dull knife will tear the cookies and make them look messy.
  • If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the orange.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 2 hours before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Orange rosemary icebox cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be customized to your liking.
