Mandarin Orange Cookies Recipe with Rowenta Gourmet Pro Oven

Don’t they look cute? In this article, I am going to share with you how to make these Mandarin Orange Cookies for this Chinese New Year. They are awfully petite compared to the real thing. I’m sure it will be a delight to your family and friends when they visit your house and get to see such adorable cookies.

In this recipe, I used the skin and juice of mandarin oranges to flavour the cookies. Although I would say, I did use some orange extract to enhance the flavour. Nevertheless, I just want to highlight that just like my previous recipe, Nutella Tart, I made this using the Rowenta Gourment Pro Oven.
