When I think of the holidays, I always think of wassail. During the holiday season, my mom would always cook up a giant pot of it. Every time I came home, I was greeted with the smell of oranges and spices. Wanting to capture the best flavors of the holidays into a cookie, I created this recipe. They taste exactly like the drink, and are the perfect blend of oranges, apples, and holiday spices. While the glaze is optional, I highly recommended it!
