For The Cookies

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla and orange extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients and mix until a soft dough forms.
  6. Place the sanding sugar in a small bowl.
  7. Scoop the dough into 2 tablespoon-sized portions.
  8. Roll each dough ball in the sanding sugar until fully coated.
  9. Place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  10. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
  11. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to finish cooling.
