List of Ingredients




1 cup shortening
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Green food coloring, decorator candies and colored sugar, optional


Recipe



In a mixing bowl, beat shortening and cream cheese until blended. Add sugar; beat until creamy. Beat in egg yolk, vanilla and orange peel. Combine the flour, salt and cinnamon; gradually add to creamed mixture. Add food coloring if desired.

Using a cookie press fitted with the disk of your choice, press dough 1 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Decorate if desired. Bake at 350° for 9-12 minutes or until set (do not brown). Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: about 9 dozen.
