Helpful Hints
The recipe originally came from Auntie Carol Bassett with a few modifications from Gammy Pegs. Straight from Gammy Pegs, "Only grate the orange color on the Orange Grind - the white will create a sour taste on the cookies." Sifting the Flour, Baking Powder, and Baking Soda is an absolute must. Tillie slept the entire time these cookies were made. Too bad, she missed out on her favorites - butter AND eggs!
