These are fantastic! I just made them. I had to halve the recipe due to lack of flour in my pantry. I used fresh orange rind and juice. The flavor is outstanding, and the texture of them is wonderful! I will definitely make these again! -
Loved these. Very light cookie. These aren't real rich and sweet like some, but are high in flavor and taste. Perfect with iced tea in the summertime! -
Even the picky Teenagers couldn't get enough! For an extra fun taste use "orange-flavored" craisins.
