Orange Slice Cookies
I found this recipe on the internet and decided to give it a try, and I must say, these are really good! These cookies contain the orange slice candies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temp, (1 block / 2 sticks)
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 370 grams orange slice candies, (13 oz)
- 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped
- 2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
- 1 cup coconut, shredded
Instructions
- Set the butter out to soften. Place the tablespoon of flour into a medium size bowl. Slice the orange slice candies into 5 pieces. As you slice a few candies and add them to the bowl, toss them with the flour - the pieces are sticky and this will prevent them from sticking together.
- Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). Measure out the oats, coconut, and walnuts and set them aside.
- Cream together the butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the flour, salt, and baking soda. Whisk together then add the butter mixture and mix together.
- Add the oats, coconut, walnuts, and orange slices, and mix those in. The mixture will be stiff.
- Scoop out dough with a cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon of dough. Roll the dough between your hands then place the dough ball on an ungreased baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest on the sheet for a few minutes, then remove cookies to a wire rack to cool.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Low cost per serving.
Variants: 1. Use pecans or roasted peanuts in place of walnuts. 2. Use the mixed fruit jelly candies in place of just orange. 3. This would be an excellent recipe to shape then freeze for fresh baked cookies at a later time.
