Recipe Introduction


I've changed the recipe a bit... This is a soft, cake-like cookie with a fresh orange taste.





List of Ingredients



• 1/2 cup margarine
  
• 3/4 cup white sugar
  
• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1 1/2 Tbsp grated orange zest
  
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
  
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
  
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1/3 cup orange juice
  
• Frosting:
  
• 2 Tbsp margarine, melted
  
• 1 cup icing sugar
  
• 1 1/2 tsp grated orange zest
  
• 2 Tbsp orange juice
  






Instructions



1. Cream margarine, sugar and sour cream until smooth. Beat in eggs and orange zest.
   
2. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture alternately with orange juice.
   
3. Drop by teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 - 10 minutes at 375 F. Allow to cool 2 minutes before moving to a cooling rack.
   
   
4. Frosting: Stir together melted margarine, icing sugar and zest. Mix in orange juice 1 Tbsp at a time until desired consistency is achieved. Spread over cooled cookies.
   
5. Makes 3 dozen cookies.

Variation: Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips to cookie dough. *Very good!*
