1 cup shortening
2 cups sugar
3 eggs
5 1/4 cups flour
1 orange rind, grated
2 teaspoons lemon extract
8 teaspoons baking powder (yes I said 8)
1 cup milk
powdered sugar (for rolling)
This is the way Grandma gives you a recipe. No directions on mixing. I just start at the top and work down. I usually chill the dough a little, so that it is easier to handle. Drop by teaspoon onto powdered sugar . Roll into a ball and bake on a greased cookie sheet.
