  • 5. 3) Orange Cream Jumbles- Follow above EXCEPT add 1 TBS of fresh orange zest and 1 tsp. of orange extract or 1 TBS. of fresh orange juice instead of vanilla. This would work with any fruit flavor, just adjust accordingly. Lemon or lime would be amazing !!!!
  • 6. 4) Chocolate Cream Drops- Follow above EXCEPT stir into shortening mixture 2 squares (2 oz) melted unsweetened chocolate.
  • 7. 5) Chocolate Cherry Drops-Mix into Chocolate Dough 2 cups of halved maraschino cherries.

  • 9. ***Frosting****
  • 10. Blend together 1 cup of sifted powdered sugar, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. vanilla or flavoring of your choice, and add enough milk (approx. 1 TBS.) until right spreading consistency. Tint with food coloring if desired.
  • 11. ****Lillian***** You can add more orange zest and either orange extract or juice to the frosting. But if you use fresh juice make sure and add it before the milk so you will know how much milk you need to add. If the frosting gets to thin, just add some more powdered sugar. Hope you enjoy this, it is sooo good. You could also do this with lemon or lime the same way.

I'm not a huge fan of anise flavor, but I really enjoyed the Jubilee Jumbles. The anise flavor is subtle and not overpowering.

I had some trouble getting the Jubilee Jumbles to hold their shape. I think I might have over-mixed the dough.

I found the Jubilee Jumbles to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably reduce the amount of sugar next time I make them.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover egg yolks. I always have a few extra yolks in the fridge and these are a perfect way to use them up.
