This recipe was inspired by a family recipe and my favorite orange cookies. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Flavor is best if baked the day before serving.

Overall this is very good with a nice balance of orange and pumpkin flavors however it does need some tweaking to be 5 star. 3 cups of sugar was far too sweet for this family next time will start with 2 cups and work up. Will also sub at least some applesauce for all the oil. I found that this needed two 9 x 5 loaf pans or 3 standard loaf pans (cleaning spillage out of the oven isn't high on my fun to do list) This is something I will definitely make again. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving! Read More
