The Wiggles Orange Biscuits

Recipe #231044 | 40 min | 30 min prep | 15 -20 biscuits (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Chef floWer

This is from 'Cooking fun with The Wiggles' cookbook. Little Miss (DD) loves the Wiggles, the Wiggles is a popular Australian kids show featuring four guys wearing four different colour shirts singing songs, cooking and playing games. She has their cookbook and this is the recipe she has chosen to make. I used egg substitue but needed to use 3.5 tablespoons of orange juice as the dough was a little dry.

    We really enjoyed these cookies. I especially like that there was coconut in the dough. The orange flavour really come through from the zest. Thank you so much for post. I will be making these again.

    This is an outstanding delicious, wiggley orange treat!! First off, orange is my favorite anything, especially in a cake/biscuits/cookies etc. This filled the bill, and was so glorious, you just want to wiggle all over because they are so delightful. Had them with iced tea on back porch today, contemplative about life. Easy, peasy, to put together~and the orange/coconut mixture baking you could sniff from the outside. I followed this exactly, except for 3 small things. First, had to use grapefruit juice, (which turned out lovely) Secondly, put in my little heart shaped cupcake thingies, because I wanted them to look like chef floWers'. Thirdly, I used Enger-G egg replacer and vegetable margarine because of the vegan alternative. My son got to enjoy them, when stopping by. There is a pictorial demonstration of this adventure though, just to be shared with my fellow Naughties ~ because I can cook, (maybe?) but I am most definately not a baker. No matter, I had fun! Lovely, lovely, chef floWer~and DD (Little Miss) Made for ZWT3 07
