I couldn't wait to try these and right enough I ended up making them today. I substituted the orange rind with 2 tbsps. of orange essence and these are for sure " YUMMMMMMMMMMY "! I really enjoyed having them this evening with some tea. Thank you for this easy and nutritious cookie. I also made some of these with a little(2-3 drops) food colour. I used pink and green food colours and hence, I made what I've most happily called "Stained carrot cookies". -
These were good, reminded me of a cake doughnut. I discovered an easy way to make the grated orange peel --Used paring knife to cut off pieces of orange peel, put them in food processor, added the egg and 1/3 cup of the flour and gave it a spin until orange bits were small enough, then added it to sugar/butter mixture. These cookies and my carrot cookies are very different in texture and flavor -
These were GREAT! Loved the combination of carrots with a hint of orange. It gave such a light, refreshing flavor--not too sweet. -
What a nutritious cookie!! Just right to go with my breakfast of mostly fruits. Went right on and made them and they tasted very good!! As you can see in the posted picture, I've added 1/4 cups (50 grams) each of raisins, and assorted nuts (most of the nuts are chopped up). Also, the cookies in the photo look darker because I substituted whole wheat flour and oatmeal for the flour. I also substituted vegetable oil for the butter, and added 1/4 tsp of nutmeg and a dash of clove. The total oil and sugar were cut by 1/4. -
they taste great with chocolate chips! and we added half the sugar and they were great too.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
