Before going on to the post, have you seen this clip? I just saw this on my local news, this 7 year old boy tosses the pizza dough amazingly well. It was so fascinating to watch how he deftly manages to toss the dough without dropping it even once. It's a real fun watch, so if you have a couple of minutes do hop on over to the clip and take a peek
Moving on, ever since I started to make this ginger orange salad dressing, the pulp I get after straining out the juice is leftover. And since I do not like to throw it away, I had to think up of ways to use up the leftover pulp. Since we love orange flavored bakes very much, whether it is cookies, oatmeal bars, muffins, breads or cakes, the first thing that came to mind when I was wondering what to do with the leftover pulp was to use them in some kind of bakes. This time I decided to make cookies with it. This is one of the simplest cookies I have made, with a minimum of ingredients and yet it tasted delicious. So if you like orange flavored bakes too, whip up a batch of these and enjoy them :)
