  • 3/4 cup white sugar

Directions

  • Combine the flour with the baking soda and baking powder.

I love Dreamsicles and this cookie is close. I did add a tablespoon of dried orange peel to the mix that really jazzed it up. I will reduce that to one teaspoon next time. Great cookie!

Hi! I thought these cookies were great! My kids loved them allot and ask for them often. You can tone down the sugar and/or the Tang a bit and they still taste fine!

I have made my very first batch of these today and it is wonderful! I had to restrain myself from eating it as my school is having a semi-Halloween party tonight. If I can't eat just one - can you imagine my classmates....YUMMY :) With the color of the cookies it's actually a perfect fall season cookie.

I made these jars for a church bazaar. They sold very well to those people who weren't "chocolate and nut" fans. They are just unique enough to attract attention!

I made these for a harvest party at our chuch where everybody made a jar and took them home. They all came back and said how good they were and ask where I got the recipe from. I have also make some with Splenda they were also good. Thanks again for the recipe.

Not very good! They burn at 375 and are grossly sweet.

- tammy s
everyone loves these! Especially the "Tanginess" it's what makes them so yummy!
- A Baker
I really liked the idea of 'creamsicle' cookies and was excited to try these. I did not much care for the finished product... the Tang makes the cookie a little sour and they are almost sickeningly sweet. I will look for another recipe with orange flavoring or zest instead of Tang.
