These cookies require some forethought and preparation, as the dough needs to be refrigerated for at least 2 hours before baking.

Roll the dough in a mixture of demerara sugar (aka, sugar in the raw) and orange zest. This part is essential for those crispy edges brimming with orange flavor.

I tried these cookies with fresh cranberries, too, and while I loved the ultra-tangy flavor, they didn't look as pretty when I sliced the cookie dough and they won't keep as well as they do with the dried cranberries.
