Maple orange masa cookies. I will now call these my “M.O.M.” cookies for no other reason than it is an easy acronym. These cookies use an entire orange (zest and juice), and are partially sweetened with maple syrup, so my home smells incredible! I definitely had to hydrate these for at least 30 minutes to ensure they would not be gritty, and I got to use my moon cake mold to give them an easy floral design. The end result has a similar texture to graham crackers, and they are super crispy and nutty from the maseca.
