Notes
Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For make-ahead, freeze unglazed baked cookies for up to 2 months; glaze after thawing. Substitute regular orange zest and juice if blood oranges are unavailable. Add a sprinkle of orange zest or edible glitter on top for extra flair.
