2/3 c. shortening
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. grated orange peel
2 c. sifted flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
4 tsp. milk

Thoroughly cream together shortening and sugar. Beat in egg until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and grated orange peel. Sift together dry ingredients then stir into creamed mixture along with milk.

Divide dough in half. Chill one hour or longer so it's easy to handle. Roll out 1/2 dough 1/8" thick. Cut and put on greased cookie sheet. Bake 12 minutes at 375 degrees. Frost with powdered sugar frosting.
