    I made these again tonight and completely forgot about the orange zest! I found some sugar-free chocolate M&M-type candies for on top of the zero sugar frosting. Right now they’re cooling all the way down in the icebox so tomorrow they’ll go into the plastic ware. Of course I posted on my FB page with a link back to this recipe! Thanks for another super yummy recipe!!!!!

    I have made cookies from boxed cake mix before, thet didn’t stay fresh for very long. In a couple of days they turned hard.
    How do you keep them to stay fresh, also can these be put in the freezer. I want to make some ahead for gifts.
