Has been a family favorite for years, always made for the holidays! As a variation, we eliminate the OJ and just add water and a dash of pumpkin pie spice to the glaze. Awesome!
Beautiful and delicious,easy and quick to make.
Definitely use the orange juice in making the glaze and just drizzle a little on the cookie; doesn’t need a lot of extra sweetness.

Delicious cookies, however I did not have sour cream so I substituted it with thinned down cream cheese to consistancy of a thick sour cream, and I added cinnamon. Then I made the recipe with listed ingredients. I think my adjusted recipe was much, much better
