Overall, I thought these cookies were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

These cookies are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I made these cookies exactly as the recipe said, but they turned out too dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

I'm not a huge fan of orange-flavored desserts, but these cookies were surprisingly good. The orange flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I've tried many orange sugar cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are soft and chewy, with a delicious orange flavor.

These orange sugar cookies were a delight! They had the perfect balance of sweetness and tanginess, and the orange flavor really shone through. I'll definitely be making these again.
