Orange Drop Cookies
These sound delicious and comes to me from a very good friend in the US, and her description of these is "They are a light cookie. Not as heavy as I expected. This is now, my favorite." I look forward to making these as well as enjoying them.
Ingredients
For the Cookies
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
For the Glaze
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 2 teaspoons orange zest
Instructions
For the Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 200 C (400 F).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until smooth, then add orange juice, zest, and the egg.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt (just put that all in a separate bowl and mix it). Now mix that into the wet ingredients. Mix well.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
For the Glaze
- In a mixing bowl, add the Glaze ingredients. Beat together. If glaze is too runny, mix in more powdered sugar, if too thick, add more orange juice a few drops at a time.
- Drizzle glaze over the cooled cookies, enjoy.
