ORANGE CREAMSICLE COOKIES
I made these cookies the other day and the only time I could really take pictures of them was around noon. If you don’t know a lot about photography, noon on a sunny day (and it’s sunny 362 days a year here) is about the worst possible time you could choose to take pictures. Harsh, bright light = lots of unwanted shadows and weirdness. I was a little annoyed because I was so incredibly excited about these amazing cookies.
Then I realized something. The greenhouse! It’s pretty much a big room of diffused natural light. Hello! It was still a little bright, but so, so much better. I guess it was a dual-purpose addition to our house!
I needed to bake a batch of cookies for a girl in our squadron who just had a baby, so I broke out my trusty Taste of Home Best Loved Cookies and Bars 2009 magazine. Seriously the best cookies ever. I’ve shared a few over the years: Ginger Molasses Cookies, Chocolate Chip Butter Cookies and Double Chocolate Cookies. This time, with awesome winter citrus in season, I couldn’t say no to the “Orange Dreams” cookies.
