There are so many things you can do with oranges but I think my ultimate favorite orange treat would have to be orange marmalade sugar cookies. I know it sounds weird but via experimentation, I discovered this yummy treat and it really is quite delicious and so flavorful. Basically, make sugar cookie dough and mix in some orange marmalade and coconut flakes...then bake. make a buttercream frosting with grated orange rind mixed into it and frost the cookies after they've cooled. They're delightful!
