Oatmeal and Orange cookies

Now It's very cold here, in Israel but the morning was warm, without any cloud in the sky, No rain in Israel for a month or more.. we're hoping a real winter will come in a day or 2; Israel needs some water..

So, I took my very old notebook ,here :

















I was looking for a new recipe , maybe for any cookies , without too much eggs (4 eggs were left in the fridge) .. I was reading recipes ,most of them were old and my favorite; here is the Hebrew recipe for the cookies I've baked today: Oatmeal and Orange cookies ;
