ORANGE CRISPIES
Contributed by Linda
2 cups shortening (not butter or oleo)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups sugar
2 eggs, unbeaten
1 tablespoon orange extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
Sugar
Cream shortening with
salt until light and fluffy,
while gradually adding sugar.
Add eggs; beat well.
Blend in orange extract, then flour.
Drop onto ungreased cookie sheets
about 2" apart.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8-9 minutes
or until edges are lightly browned.
While cookies are warm,
sprinkle with additional granulated sugar.
Let stand 1-2 minutes before removing.
Makes 6 dozen.
Note: I have also made these using lemon extract.
Both versions are good.
Once when I didn't have enough of either flavoring,
I combined the two and they still tasted great.
I just called them Citrus Crispies.
