Would make this again.
I thought this cookie was very good. I did have to turn down the heat to 350 to not burn them, but they are very, very good. five stars

Good but a bit too tangy for my taste ,Im going to try this again with an orange drink mix other than tang.
I think it would also be good with a cherry drink mix. five stars

I made these jars for a church bazaar. They sold very well to those people who weren't "chocolate and nut" fans. They are just unique enough to attract attention! five stars

Love this cookie - looks great in a jar. However, if you don't like a tangy orange flavor - don't make. People seem to love or hate this cookie. I think it is extremely good and a nice change of pace. five stars
