ORANGE DREAMSICLE COOKIES
Jar ingredients--
1/2 cup orange-flavored drink mix (Tang)
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups vanilla baking chips (I used the white choc. chips)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
Combine the flour with the baking soda and baking powder. Starting with the Tang, then sugar, vanilla chips and ending with the flour mixture. Layer the ingredients in a clean glass, wide-mouthed, quart sized jar. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next ingredient.
Tag instructions--
1. Preheat oven to 375*
2. Empty contents of jar into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup softened
butter, 1 egg slightly beaten and tsp. vanilla extract. Mix until
completely blended.
3. Roll heaping TBSP fulls into balls. Place 2 inches apart on a lightly
greased baking sheet.
4. Bake at 375* for 12-14 minutes or until tops are very lightly browned.
Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet then remove cookies to wire racks to
cool completely. Makes 30 cookies. ENJOY!
**NOTE-- When I put the ingredients in the jar, I had the flour mixture not
completely fitting before I put a cover on the jar. The next time
I make it, I will decrease the white vanilla chips from 1 1/2 cups
to 1 cup. If you aren't going to put it in the jar, I wouldn't
change the amount of chips.
Also, my cookies once baked, were crispy and very brown on the
bottom. Next time I will bake for a shorter amount of time on a
slightly lower temp to get a lighter, chewy, softer cookie. Very
good though! They taste like orange dreamsicle popsicles! Kinda
addicting
