Cookies!

I made 12 dozen orange cookies (see post below for the recipe) to take to our family Thanksgiving but sadly word came back that so many were out of cookies. So I made another 12 dozen orange cookies that will be delivered tomorrow. I also made some date Pinwheel cookies which are my dear husband's favorite cookie that his Mom made for him. We don't need a lot of cookies but I only am sending 1 1/2 dozen Pinwheel Cookies with the Orange Cookies.
I am also sending the recipe for anyone who wants to make more cookies.
