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
- Cream margarine, sugar and sour cream until smooth. Beat in eggs and orange zest.
- Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture alternately with orange juice.
- 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.
- 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.
- Makes 3 dozen cookies.
Final Comments
