- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 1⁄2 cups Rice Krispies

- Do not over mix.
- Fold in orange slices and nuts at the same time, a few at a time.
- You can also cut a few extra pieces and scatter them on top by hand.
- Press in dough.
- Use thick cookie sheets greased with oil or shortening.
- Use a tablespoon or small ice cream scoop to shape a ball.
- Place 12 balls pressed down slightly in 350° for 14 minutes.
- These bake better if you only bake one sheet at a time.
- Let set one minute after they are out of oven and then slide onto cooling rack.
- The cookie sheet will have to be washed each time as the candy melts on sheets and would burn if left on sheet.
- If you can find orange jelly beans that are truly orange flavored, they may be used instead of orange slices.

These are in my opinion the best cookies ever! I change it a tiny bit but these are perfectly delicious if you follow the recipe exactly . I use only brown sugar instead of half white half brown and I add the rice krispies last because if it sits to long in the batter they soggie and makes a chewy cookie. I like a crisp cookie and by putting them in last it gives an extra crunch. Also if you dont like the orange slices these are delicious without , either way they are the best. Thanks so much for posting!

I thought these might be too weird, but I would never know unless I tried them. And guess what? I really, really liked these cookies! I think they would make a great holiday cookie. I love the orange flavor and the crispy, chewy combination. Yum, yum! I would have to add that my kids liked these, but they weren't an absolute favorite like they were with the adults. I absolutely intend to make these again, and again, and again....
