If, so you may be interested in these Christmas cane cookies! I can\u2019t say that I quite understand the association between the Holidays and these orange-ish flavored cookies, beyond the shape you can give them. Regardless, let\u2019s jump into the recipe: Christmas Cane Cookies Source: December […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":429,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/429"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=945"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1329,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/945\/revisions\/1329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/wordpress.library.illinois.edu\/illinoisnewspaperproject\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/70\/2019\/01\/IMG_9927-300x300.jpg\")
\n1 cup sifted powdered sugar
\n1 egg
\n1 tablespoon vanilla
\n1 tablespoon orange juice
\n2 teaspoons grated orange rind
\n2 \u00bd cups sifted flour
\n1 teaspoon salt
\n\u00bd teaspoon nutmeg
\n1 \u00bd cups quick-cooking oats
\n1 cup chopped pecans<\/p>\n
\n\u201cCream shortening and one cup powdered sugar. Add egg, vanilla, orange juice, and orange rind. Fold in flour, salt and nutmeg. Mix thoroughly. Blend in oats and pecans. Using a tablespoonful of dough form into slender roll 4 inches long. Curve one end to form into cane. With a spatula, place on a cookie sheet. Bake in a slow over (325 degrees) 30 minutes. Combine powdered and red sugar and sprinkle on cookies while still warm.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThese cookies were extremely chewy! The orange flavor wasn\u2019t especially strong so the main taste seemed to come from the powdered sugar. However, the addition of the oats made them not taste too overly sweet. Also, the cookies did not puff up at all due to the lack of baking soda. This does have the benefit of making the cookies retain whatever shape you give them. The reactions to these cookies were generally positive, though they lacked the sense of enthusiasm that many of the other recipes have. I would suggest considering adding more orange to the batter in order to give them more flavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
