Orange Macadamia Nut Cookies
A delightful delicate orange flavor in the cookie and frosting in these treats is unexpected. It pairs nicely with the macadamia nuts for a fun tropical flair. I know you’ll enjoy these.—Laura Oslon, Manchester, Missouri

Reviews
These cookies were very good. I would make them again! A bonus feature is it made the exact amount (3-1/2 doz) as stated in the recipe. Sometimes that doesn't work out as well.
The cornstarch makes these cookies crisp like vanilla wafers, then there is the tangy orange...fantastic. A perfect cookie.
This is for sure a 6 star.!!!!!
Have made this several times, the very best. Have also added some dried cranberries, came out very good. Big brother, who is not much of a cookie person, really liked them. A keeper
