Cooking with Friends, 2016

We have to have some sweets during the holidays! I'm not much of a baker, but I'm willing to spend the time to make these unusual and delicious cookies!

My elementary school friend Becca Mitchell made these for a "girlfriend reunion" and I was hooked after the first bite, even though I don't often eat sweets. Becca got this recipe from another friend's Mom. Dawn Hees shared her Mom's recipe even though she doesn't make them - she had Becca do it! So I got Dawn to share this, and I credit both Dawn and Becca for introducing me to these yummy cookies. This weekend I'll make my own batch - one of the few things I'll bake for Christmas.

I used a palette knife to paint these colorful oranges - hope you enjoy the art, too!

Robbie's Orange Candy Cookies by Dawn Hees

INGREDIENTS
  • 2 cups corn flakes
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 1 1/2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 pound orange candy slices, chopped
  • 1/2 cup coconut
  • 1 cup pecans
DIRECTIONS
 
   Mix 1/2 cup flour with orange slices and chop into small pieces. The flour helps when chopping the sticky candy slices. Crush corn flakes slightly. Sift 1 1/2 cups flour with baking soda and salt. Blend butter and sugar, add eggs and beat until fluffy. Add sifted ingredients, mix well, add candy, coconut, cornflakes, nuts and mix. Roll into small balls, place on greased and floured cooking sheet - or parchment paper. Use a fork dipped in water to slightly flatten balls. Bake for 12 minutes at 325 degrees.
