Renny Darling's Cookies Galore

Old-Fashioned Raisin Nut Cookies with Orange Glaze

2 eggs
2 cups brown sugar
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
2 teaspoons vanilla

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup yellow raisins

Beat together first 4 ingredients until blended. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon and add all at once to egg mixture. Stir until blended. Stir in walnuts and raisins. Pour batter and spread it evenly, in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan and bake in a 350° oven for about 20 minutes or until cookies are set. You might have to probe it a little with a cake tester, as the top will appear dry before cookies are set.

Allow cookies to cool in pan. When cool, drizzle top with Orange Glaze. Cut into squares to serve. Yields about 4 dozen cookies.

 

Orange Glaze:
Stir together 1 tablespoon orange juice with about 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, until glaze is a drizzling consistency. Add 1 teaspoon grated orange peel and stir until blended. Drizzle glaze on cooled cookies and allow to dry, about 30 minutes, before cutting cookies.

 

Note: -Cookies freeze beautifully. If you are planning to freeze them,
I would prefer you not to glaze these until after they have defrosted.
