That's a whole lotta citrus in this here recipe. If you want to make a citrus cookie that tastes like you climbed up a tree and plucked a cookie off the branch, that's what it takes.
Cook's Note:
Use a Microplane or the smallest holes of a box grater to zest citrus. Use steady, even force, rotating the fruit as you zest and being careful to remove only the outermost colored layer, not any of the bitter white pith.
