GRANDMA'S ORANGE COOKIES 
5 c. flour
4 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 c. shortening
1 1/2 c. sugar
2/3 c. milk
Grated rind from 2 oranges
Juice from 2 oranges
1 tsp. lemon extract

Mix all ingredients together. Drop by teaspoonful on lightly greased cookie sheet. Top each cookie with half walnut or maraschino cherry. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden (lightly) browned. Makes about 5 dozen or more.

Healthful and delicious, this cookie was a real favorite of mine as it was always in Grandma Rizzo's cookie jar. Our kids and neighbor kids loved them.
