From the 1963 Betty Crocker Cooky Book. These are a cake-like cookie. For variety, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, raisins or chocolate chips. I used chocolate chips because I enjoy the taste of chocolate and orange together.

From the cookbook I received from my sweet friend, "A Chocolate Christmas" This is another great cookie recipe for the holiday cookie trays and has a unique flavor with the orange juice. I hope you enjoy them too.

Provided by HokiesMom

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 30m

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 tablespoon orange zest
1 tablespoon orange juice
1 1/2 cups buttermilk baking mix (I use Healthy Heart Bisquick)
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • In a medium bowl, beat butter.
  • Gradually add the brown sugar, beat until light and fluffy.
  • Add the egg, orange zest and orange juice, and mix until smooth.
  • Add baking mix and mix well.
  • Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chops.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from cookie sheet after 5 minutes to wire racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use room-temperature butter: This will help the cookies spread more evenly and create a chewier texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Use parchment paper: This will prevent the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and make them easier to remove.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Orange drop cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their soft and chewy texture, sweet and tangy flavor, and festive appearance, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat to bake, give orange drop cookies a try!
