The last time I visited my parents we started talking about cookie flavours. I was searching for inspiration to feed my cookie cravings with. One of the first cookie flavours my dad thought of was licorice. I told him to try again, haha. Then he said spiced orange. Hmmm, now he was talking my language!

And that’s how these beauties were born.

These cookies make a perfect holiday treat. They’re bursting with the traditional holiday flavours of orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves, but they’re not overly sweet so you can feel good about indulging in them. I like them as is, but if you’re looking to jazz them up a bit feel free to drizzle some dark chocolate over them or top them with an orange glaze (1/2 cup powdered coconut sugar mixed with 1 tbsp orange juice and 1/2 tsp orange zest).
