ORANGE PEACH CHEWS
(Yield: 4½ dozen)

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup butter or margarine
¾ cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon orange juice
2½ cups rolled oats
1 cup chopped dried peaches
½ cup finely chopped nuts
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice

Preheat oven to 375°F.  Spray cookie sheets with non-stick vegetable spray.

In a medium bowl, combine flour and baking soda; set aside.  In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy.  Add egg and orange juice; beat well.  Add flour mixture, blending thoroughly.  Stir in oats, peaches, and nuts.  Drop by teaspoonfuls on prepared cookie sheets.

Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until delicately browned.  Cool on a wire rack.

In a small bowl, combine confectioners’ sugar with enough orange juice to make an icing of drizzling consistency.  Drizzle over the cookies.
