Step Back Into Grandma’s Kitchen With These Orange Ice Box Cookies
By |
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of real butter (softened)
1 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
2 eggs well beaten
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 medium sized orange squeezed (use as much juice as you’d like from the fruit and also put in grated peeling to taste.)
1 teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
Blend together as any other cookies or cake. Chill before baking.
Prepare two pieces of waxed paper and put a little flour on them.
Knead and roll dough into approximately 1 1/4 inch diameter rolls. Wrap in between the two pieces of waxed paper; chill at least 3 hours (or overnight if sealed in foil or plastic bags). Once chilled, slice the rolls into 3/16 inch thick slices. Place slices 1/2 inch apart on greased cookie sheets. Bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 7 to 9 minutes or until golden but not brown.
They can also be frozen and cut into portions as wanted.
