Orange Drop Cookies I

“This recipe is from my great grandmother. I entered these in our County Fair. There were over 60 entries in the drop cookie category. I received 2nd place. Pretty darn good, huh? My great grandmother would have been so proud. You can make sour milk by combining 1/2 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar and allow to set 10 minutes.”

My family and I thought this was a great recipe. Instead of using lemon pudding we used french vanilla and we replaced the lemon extract with orange extract. They came out with a very nice orange flavor to them. We did not put the glaze on top only because we did not want to have them too sweet. Next time I would like to try doing as I did this time but instead of orange extract using the lemon so as to give it a more citrus flavor.

I made these with butter instead of shortening, and used the zest of two oranges. The cookies came out with a perfect soft texture and a strong enough citrus flavor to be great even without icing(though I put the icing on some and they were absolutely decadent). I made them by actual teaspoons and got about six dozen cookies! They did take a little less time in the oven than the recipe stated(more like 8-10 minutes). This is a great recipe and will be one of my new favorite cookies- thanks for sharing!

This is a great recipe. Should have come in first place. Only thing different i did was add 1 tsp vanilla, to make it 2 tsp. Other than that was totally the same. Did not need the iceing. Is just great as they are. Thanks. Love these cookies

This is a great cookie recipe - just like those my mom made using her old Rumsford Baking Powder cookbook.

The cookies were either too thin or after freezing the batter too cakey, it definetely didn't need all the flour and could have used some more egg yolks or something

Delicious! I made plain, orange frosted, some with a chocolate chip melted into the top, and some with raisins in the dough. Great recipe!

These cookies had a great orange flavor, not too strong and not too subtle. I used half butter, half shortening and the texture was soft, but not crumbly. Also, I drizzled chocolate on top of the glaze which went with the orange flavor perfectly and made the cookies look pretty too!

I never use shortening, so I substituted with margerine instead. The orange flavor gives it a gourmet taste. Everyone enjoyed these cookies, but I thought that the icing was a bit too sweet (I usually don't like things very sweet), otherwise a great cookie.
