Florida Cookies

List of Ingredients




1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup shortening
2 cups granulated sugar
2 eggs
3 med. oranges-seperate juice and rind
(Reserve some for icing below-the rest goes in the cookie)
4 1/2 cups All-Purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Icing:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 tablespoon grated orange rind

Recipe



In a large bowl mix together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.

Mix sugar, shortening, eggs, juice and rind together. Add vanilla and sour cream. Gradually mix in flour mixture.

I find using parchment paper works best for these cookies, but if you don't have any, lightly grease baking sheets.

Drop by teaspoonfulls two inches apart. Bake in a preheated 375º oven for 8 minutes. Remove and cool on racks with wax paper underneath. While cookies are cooling prepare icing.

Florida Cookie Icing directions:
Mix butter, juice and rind together. Add powdered sugar (add a little extra juice if the icing is to thick-it should be somewhat more like a glaze than a thick icing so that it can harden.)
