Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/4 cups sugar
1 cup butter flavor crisco
2 eggs
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tbsp vanilla
1/2 tbsp orange extract
1 tsp lemon rind
3 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

Combine sugar and shortening in large bowl. I use a cutting tool. Add eggs, syrup, vanilla, orange, and lemon rind. Blend well.
In a seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Stir this well and then gradually add to sugar mixture.
Form 4 balls and let chill at least an hour. Lightly flour surface of countertop, top of dough ball, and rolling pin and roll about 1/4 inch thick.
Cut shapes and place on cookie sheet 1-2 inches apart.
If I'm making small cookies I bake at 375F no longer than 5 minutes and for larger cookies no longer than 9.
After these cool I ice them with an icing make from powdered sugar, skim milk, corn syrup and vanilla extract (plus food coloring) and decorate with white cream cheese icing.
