1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/8 c. sifted flour
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange rind

ORANGE GLAZE:

1/3 c. sugar
3 tbsp. orange juice
1 tsp. grated orange rind

Mix together shortening, sugar, egg, vanilla and orange rind. Sift together and stir in the flour, soda, and salt. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart on lightly greased baking sheet. Bake until delicately browned. Cookies should still be soft.

Cool slightly, then remove from baking sheet. While hot, dip cookies in orange glaze, heated together. Makes about 3 dozen.
