From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. These cookies are addictive. This was my
mother's recipe, who got it from Aunt Kay, who got it from her mother. A few years ago I saw
Aunt Kay's recipe and discovered that mine is very different (I have a tendency to change
recipes). Here is Aunt Kay's original recipe as well as the recipe I use.

This photo is of my recipe. I used store bought orange
juice to make the frosting instead of fresh squeezed
orange juice & grated rind. They still taste great, but the
frosting has more depth when made with fresh juice and
zest. -Stephanie
