Old Fashioned Orange Slice Oatmeal Cookies
We were at a family party a few weeks ago and my husbands sweet Aunt Linda made these. I almost didn’t try them because I thought the orange pieces were dried apricots, but my daughter took one and then refused to eat it, leaving me with no other choice. Oh my, I’m so glad my…
