These Crispy Orange Oatmeal Cookies combine the hearty texture of oats with the bright flavor of orange zest for a unique twist on traditional oatmeal cookies. The slice-and-bake method creates perfectly uniform cookies with crisp edges and wonderful texture from chopped walnuts. Make the dough ahead and store in the freezer for fresh-baked cookies whenever cravings hit!
