This is the recipe as written, I have a note that they do not spread on the pan, so I would put them closer together. On most recipes I tend to skip over the sifting, but not this one.

The book includes a glaze: (which I do skip) 1 cup sifted powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, melted, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 tablespoon orange juice. Combine all & beat with wire wisk till smooth. I made these for people at work & they were all surprised as they took a bite & they cookie disappeared! Terry Horger
