Clementine Crinkle Cookies by @Mandaleighr
Here, clementine zest and juice are used to infuse a tender sugar cookie dough. Clementines are popular in English history, as they were seen as a symbol of good luck to come in the new year. Some people grew up with the tradition of finding a clementine (like me!) in their stockings on Christmas morning representing gold from good ole' Saint Nick. The combination of a festive history and citrus being at its peak in the winter season these cookies make a great addition to your holiday baking repertoire.
