Ingredients:

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 0.5 cup sour milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 3.25 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar

  • 3 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions:

  • Combine 3 teaspoons of baking powder with 3 1/4 cups of flour in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Cream brown sugar and shortening until fluffy, then mix in eggs, orange rind, and vanilla. Gradually add flour mixture and sour milk, alternating between the two until fully combined. Drop teaspoonfuls of dough onto cookie sheets.
