These were my dadโs favorites! The only difference in the recipe from my moms is that my mom always added raw peanuts and I love the added crunch they gave them!
I have made these for years. They were favorites of my mom and aunt. Very happy to see the recipe posted for others to enjoy.
Love orange slice cookies. Try the assorted colors orange slices. Makes them taste like fruit cake cookies. Even more delicious. I also use dark brown sugar for change of flavor.
