I just made up this recipe and thought it was worth an update:
Orangey-Molasses Cookies
4 slices of tea-seeped orange
1 c butter
1 c sugar
2/3 c brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 c molasses
3 c plus 2 tblspoons flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
2 c chocolate chips or pieces or chunks
1 c chopped nuts of a certain type
Cream softened butter and sugars until really light and fluffy. Add pulp and juice of orange slices, molasses and eggs and cream some more. Meanwhile, whisk flour, baking soda and salt together. Add to butter'n'sugar mixture. Add chocolate chips and nuts. Refrigerate for an hour. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for about 9 minutes, or until just browned. Cookies will look underdone when removed from oven, but nicely browned on the bottom. Cool on a rack for soft, gooey, orangey cookies.
Otherwise, life is fine. Everything in transition. Everything in time.

These sound yummy! I'm a little confused as to what a "tea-seeped" orange slice is though.
Hi, Mags! Good to "see" you here.
I didn't explain that, did I? Sorry for the confusion. It's orange slices that have been "flavoring" a pitcher of iced tea. I didn't want to throw them out, so I invented this cookie.
yummy. thanks for sharing this and glad to have you back. i am back from a long hiatus myself.
This looks really good, thank you for sharing. I'll have to try it tomorrow (or have my daughter try it). I will need to take out a lot of the sugar though. If I think about it, I'll let you know how it goes.
In Christ,
