About Sugar cookies with orange frosting

Sugar cookies with orange frosting are a delightful treat featuring a soft, buttery base topped with a tangy citrus icing. The cookie dough, typically made with sugar, butter, flour, eggs, and vanilla, pairs the classic sweetness of American-style sugar cookies with the bright, refreshing flavor of orange zest and juice in the frosting. A staple of festive occasions, these cookies are rooted in European baking traditions but have evolved into a beloved dessert in American cuisine. While they’re rich and satisfying, the high sugar content and refined flour make them a more indulgent treat rather than a nutritious snack. However, the orange frosting provides a hint of vitamin C from natural citrus ingredients. Perfect in moderation, these cookies balance comforting flavors with a pop of citrus brightness, making them a cheerful addition to holiday spreads or special celebrations.
