I like to serve these light crispy cookies with ice cream or sherbet. The recipe is a personal favorite because it came from a good friend. Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1/2 teaspoon almond extract |
2-1/3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 cup chopped almonds |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, orange juice, peel and extract. Combine flour and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in almonds.
2. Roll into 1-in. balls. Place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 6-1/2 dozen.
