These sound so yummy! I will take your advice and try them sooner rather than later, I'm craving these kinds of spices right now.
Love peanuts and love these peanut sticks! Wondering if print this recipe and tuck it away and later go to retrieve it to make them would someone approach me with an offer I can't refuse 😉 Time will tell!
I love the idea of a cookie stick! And all those spices make me very happy. They look amazing!
I'm loving the idea of it in stick form!
These cookie sticks look so good…the texture, the glaze~YUM! I know I'd love them in any season:)
I am definitely a fan of orange and spice. I'd never had cardamom until I went to college and was introduced to the chai latte. Now I have cardamom all the time! It's become a favorite.
Can't wait to hear about the offer you couldn't refuse!
Totally bookmarking these to try! Instead of the glaze, it might be fun to play with chocolate. You can't go wrong with chocolate and peanuts. And perhaps salt. 🙂
OH, the peanutty goodness. Wish I had one with my coffee!
I can imagine these to have a similar appearance to cheese straws once they are twisted! They definitely shouldn't be saved just for Decemeber, they sound fabulous. I love the idea of the orange glaze, I never think about glazing cookies!
