from Million Menus:

1 cup butter or margarine
1 cup soft brown sugar
6 tbsp cream cheese
1 egg, beaten lightly
2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tsp finely grated orange zest
raw brown sugar, to sprinkle

Preheat oven to 375F and grease 2-3 cookie sheets.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, sugar, and cream cheese until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg and sift in the flour and baking soda. Add the orange juice and zest and mix well.

Drop about 30 rounded tablespoons on to the greased cookie sheets, making sure that they are well spaced. Sprinkle with raw brown sugar (Be careful not to get overload the cookie sheet, the brown sugar will crystalize and become bitter if stuck to the bottom of the cookies – neatness counts!)

Bake for 10 minutes or until cookies are light brown on the edges. Cool on wire rack before serving.

Suggested beverage: iced sweet tea.
