What do you do when you feel like baking and you have a lone orange in the fruit basket? You search the internet for a recipe, of course! How did we ever survive before the internet? We have become so dependent on it that it is hard to imagine life without this useful “tool”. Anyway, that search was a fruitful one as it brought me to this recipe which was easy enough for me to handle on a short notice.

Substitution is the order of the day

Scanning through the ingredients list, I found that I was missing a couple of ingredients. Thankfully they can be easily substituted with other ingredients I have in my pantry. Orange oil took the place of vanilla extract and walnuts were swapped out for pecans. With all the ingredients now in place, I immediately put myself to work as tea time was fast approaching and some freshly baked cookies would be lovely.

Tea Time with Freshly Baked Orange Pecan Cookies

After about 30 minutes, these citrusy flavored cookies emerged from the oven. If you like orange flavor, then these Orange Pecan Cookies are definitely for you. They have a soft, chewy texture which make them a great afternoon snack. A cup of tea or a glass of cold milk would go nicely with them.

    These cookies look delicious Biren. Hubby would be drooling over these; he is a huge fan of anything orange flavored. He's not a sweets kind of guy but I bet he would like these orange flavored yumminess. Kiddies would definitely engulf these in record time.

    Hi Megan! I miss you too! Summer is pretty unpredictable with people travelling and all. Hope you had a great summer. I am sad it's coming to an end and my boys go back to school tomorrow. Then it will be keeping to routine, homework, etc 🙁

    Have to make more cookies and such for school lunches and after school snack. Will be doing more and more baking in the coming days.

    I've always preferred pecans to walnuts and chewy to crunchy cookies, so this a real winner in my book.
