A recipe for orange cookies, with a hint of nutmeg and orange. The cookies are easy to make and has a delicious taste. Nice for Dutch King's Day!
Bart (my middle son) has his birthday today. Indeed, together with the king of The Netherlands. And that that is very special is known to him. He has already received a real remembrance coin and a medal and been allowed to plant a tree to celebrate this special day.
And everyone is got a free day on his birthday. And maybe if he is a bit bigger, that way he can have a nice party with his friends on his birthday and they all can come to party.
Because today is also the birthday of the King, I thought it would be nice to bake something Orange (the colour / name that's connected to our King, it's the house of Orange). That became these orange cookies. We all thought it was delicious. So congratulations Bart (and of course King Willem Alexander too ;-))
