- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts
Instructions
- Cut orange slices into tiny bits (if the scissors become too sticky, dip in hot water).
- Soak candy pieces with 6 tablespoons boiling water and let stand overnight.
- The next day cream together the sugars, butter and eggs.
- Stir in the softened bits of orange candy.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add vanilla extract and nuts.
- Mix all ingredients together.
