Would not make this again.
The tang flavor is much, much too strong, even if you cut down the amount used.

We were making jars of cookie mix for a bake sale and I wanted to try this recipe. I took the cookies to church and everyone loved them. I used margarine but had to add double the amount to be able to get them into balls. The were yummy and so pretty!

I receive a jar...which incidentally was very pretty...as a thankyou gift at the end of the school year and just recently baked them up for my nephew's graduation. Because my butter was not soft enough, I needed to add about 2T water which caused them to flatten and spread and they werehuge(5 inches in diameter)...but boy were they inhaled...and everyone asked me for the recipe. Thanks.

I found the recipe on this website and decided to try it because my girlfriends and I were making christmas cookies. I thought it had plenty of orange flavor. It is a very sweet cookie. The cookie was very easy to make.
