Recipe by: Cranbrook Reflections, A Culinary Collection
Mix together the butter, cream cheese, egg yolk and orange juice. Add
dry cake mix; stir in orange zest, raisins, walnuts and basil. Chill dough.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees; butter cookie sheets. Roll chilled dough into
1/2-inch balls and place on cookie sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes. For a bit of artistry, attach a small paper or
silk leaf using a dab of confectioner's sugar icing. Makes 6 to 7 dozen.

and orange juice.
