yummy orange drop cookie recipe

These orange drop cookies were the highlight of the treat table at the Foxy Mama Baby Shower… So I did what any normal person would do and begged my co-hostess, Angie, if I could have her recipe to share on here. It’d be unfair not to.

2/3 c. shortening

3/4 c. sugar

1 egg

1/2 c. freshly squeezed orange juice

2 T. grated orange rind

2 1/3 c. flour

1/2 t. baking powder

1/2 t. baking soda

1/2 t. salt

DIRECTIONS- Mix the shortening, sugar, and egg. Mix in the orange juice and rind. In a separate bowl, mix the remaining (dry) ingredients and then gradually add to the rest of the batter. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Icing:

2 1/2 T. butter, softened

1 1/2 c. powdered sugar

1 1/2 T. freshly squeezed orange juice

2 T. orange rind

DIRECTIONS- Whisk ingredients together and spread/drizzle on (cooled off) cookies.

Serve at a party or baby shower (or just after dinner). Seriously, y’all- so yummy.
