The recipe looks great but I’m getting a little tired of the ‘cutesy cool’ writing style of so many food writers like this one. Frankly, I really don’t care about how humid
the room was nor any cute comments about ‘world peace’. Point blank- its nauseating. But thanks for the recipe. :-)

This recipe looks really good, except I would leave out the orange zest. I use a recipe from the American Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, and it comes out really well. It also describes how to adjust the fat content in the recipe to get a softer cookie. I like this, because then I get a cookie that isn’t hard as rock, but still crunchy :) Eager to try your recipe, and also to make pistachio biscotti. Thanks for the recipe!

YUM. So good! I subbed almond extract for the Grand Marnier but doubled the orange zest, and then dipped in melted chocolate with a teaspoon or so of orange zest stirred in… super yum. Thanks for another great recipe!!

These are absolutely delicious. I accidentally ended up browning the butter instead of just melting it, but used it anyway. I don’t know if it’s better since I haven’t tried the recipe as is, but they are really really good. :) Thanks for the recipe.

Hole in one! I made these for gifts last night and they are great. Your site is a regular stop for me in my odyssey of fine dining for seven without breaking the house or leaving the house, for that matter. Thank you for your hard and delicious work!!! PS try dipping these in some Vin Santo for a grownup dessert!

First-time commenter, long-time lurker! I absolutely love your blog! Have used many of your recipes and they never disappoint! We have made these 2 years in a row for Christmas gifts and they are a hit! I left out the orange liqueur and zest and added 1 tsp almond extract to make the almond flavor stronger. They are heavenly! Thank you so much for all you do! This is my go-to site for new recipes to try!

This recipe is awesome!! The hint of orange, brilliant. StarBucks charge £1 per slice. Got about 30 slices for about £5, bargain!!

Can I swap orange juice for the orange liqueur in a pinch?
