Would make this again.
I thought that idea was really good and was really looking forward to them but they are hard & dry and look so much more delicious than they really are. Total bummer. two stars

Would not make this again.
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. three stars
