• 1 pound melted butter
• 1 cup oil
• 3/4 cup Crisco
• 1 cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• Juice and rind from 1 orange
• 1 finely chopped walnuts
• 6-7 cups flour

Beat together butter, oil, Crisco, and eggs; add sugar and beat until the mixture whitens. Add orange juice and rind mixing well. Fold in nuts and flour. Mix until a nice dough forms that rolls out without being sticky. Roll into 1 inch balls and flatten with palm of hand.

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Keep in airtight container until ready to honey. May also be frozen for several months.

Heat honey in a saucepan, adding a small amount of water. Be careful when heating honey, it boils over quickly. When honey is heated and liquid, remove from heat. Dip cookies in warm honey let stand for a few minutes. Take out and place on plate or platter. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts.
