Cup of Yum
Bake the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Form cookie dough balls into approximately 2” balls. Add to greased cookie sheet. About 8 cookies should fit on each tray.
- Press slightly to even out the cookies.
- Bake for approximately 9 or 10 minutes. The cookies should be slightly golden, but the edges should not brown. They may look slightly undercooked.
- Cool completely before decorating.
Make the Icing
- While cookies cool, prepare the icing. Combine powdered sugar, milk, and bergamot syrup. Stir until smooth. Icing should be viscous, but not thin enough to run off the cookies.
- Cover the cookies with icing and zest some orange on top while the icing is still wet, if desired.
Notes
- Be sure to let the icing set completely before placing in a tin or on top of each other.
