3/4 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 shortening and sugar. Add egg, beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla, grated orange peel; mix thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture together with milk.

Divide dough in half. Chill 1 hour so it's easy to handle. Roll out one half, keeping the other chilled until you're ready to roll it.

Roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut; put on greased cookie sheet; sprinkle lightly with sugar. Bake in 375 degree oven for 12 minutes. Makes 2 dozen.
