Orange Cookies

Made these for New Year's Eve. Fast to make and yummy too.

Orange Cookies

1 white cake mix
2 eggs
1/4 c. oil
1 c. flour
1/3 c. orange juice
1 Tb. finely grated orange peel (I used one orange for both)

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, flour, orange juice and orange peel. Drop by spoonful or scoops onto lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-13 minutes or until light golden brown around edges. (Undercooked is better than overcooked.) Remove cookies and place on nonstick rack to cool.

For frosting, I added orange peel and 1 1/2 tsp. orange juice to canned frosting. Very yummy.
