Grandmom Lucy’s Orange Crispies

in the late evening on Monday, the 20th of December 2004 by Anarchy

These were too good to not share them… simple, but good!!!

The wife made up these cookies today… and they are damn tasty.
The recipe was pulled from “Christmas with Southern Living 2004″. (Yes… I buy too many cook books.)

Anyway… they’re quick… easy… and damn addictive. Try them out…

Ingredients:
1 cup Shortening
1 cup Sugar
1 Large Egg
1½ tsp Orange Extract
1¾ cups all-purpose Flour
½ tsp Salt

Directions:
Preheat oven to at 375°.
Beat shortening at Medium speed until creamy.
Gradually add sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
Add egg and orange extract, beating well.
Combine flour and salt. Add to shortening mixture, beating until blended.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake for 11 to 12 minutes (or until edges are lightly browned).
Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets, then remove to wire racks.
Eat.
Repeat.
