ORANGE DROP COOKIES 
2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening
3 eggs
1 c. sour milk (I use buttermilk)
1 tsp. baking soda in milk
1 tsp. baking powder in flour
4 c. flour
Grated rind & juice of 2 oranges

Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs; mix well. Add sour milk and soda, orange juice and rind. Mix well. Sift flour and baking powder and mix with above. I always put the batter in the refrigerator for a while as drop cookies have a tendency to run or flatten out and this seems to prevent that. Bake at 350 degrees until they feel done to the touch. Edges barely browning.

FROSTING:

Juice & rind of a lemon
(About 3 tbsp. of juice)
butter
Drop of cream of milk
Powdered sugar

Mix well and frost cookies after they have cooled.
