sugar crusted meltaway cookies
(1 rating)
This is my favorite holiday/special occasion cookie and it is DELISH! Everyone with whom I've shared these cookies loves them. My personal variation to this recipe is to add 1 tablespoon of orange liqueur or triple sec to the orange juice. I also use mini-chocolate chips. This recipe comes from the Pillsbury Bake-off Cookbook (1984), 31st Bake-Off contest.
