These are one of my family's favorite cookies, and mine as well. I have been making these for over 20 yrs now and are still requested for all gatherings. The texture is delicate & delicious, and the orange flavoring makes these scrumptious. Once you try them, they just might be one of yours too.. They will melt in your mouth! A hot cup of tea goes great with them. You can even custom them by adding some of your favorite ingredients! I personally like them just the way they are....

    I use a cookie scoop to make cookies, then roll into balls, press down gently to flaten. Bake @ 370 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes, just until light brown. Do not over bake! This is a large recipe and can be cut in half if desired. Cookies are delicate and delicious...ENJOY!
