On
the first day of our spring break, Paul and I baked these delicious orange
cookies. We first had orange cookies at a family reunion this summer and I am
pretty sure Paul ate all of them. After a little digging he found out that our
great-aunt made them. She included the recipe in her Christmas card to us,
which Paul claimed was his favorite present. Unfortunately here in Minnesota it
still looks and feels like Christmas, not spring break. Nevertheless, these
orange cookies gave me a hopeful glance into a seemingly never coming spring.
Ingredients
Cookies
2/3 cups
margarine
¾ cups sugar
1 egg
2 ¼ cups flour
½ tsp baking
soda
½ tsp baking
powder
2 TBSP grated
orange rind
Cream margarine
and sugar. Add remaining ingredients. Drop by spoon
Bake at 350° for 8 to
10 minutes
Frosting
Powder sugar
Orange Juice
Optional orange
rind
Start by adding
about 2 cups of powder sugar to a mixing bowl. Than slowly add orange juice a
table spoon at a time until you reach your desired frosting consistency. More powdered
sugar gives a frosting consistency. More orange juice gives a glaze consistency.
Add some rind for an extra orange
flavor.
