1 Egg
1/2 ts Vanilla
1/2 ts Grated orange peel
2 c Sifted enriched flour
1 1/2 ts Baking powder

Thoroughly cream shortening and sugar. Add egg, beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Add vanilla, grated orange peel; mix thoroughly. Sift dry ingredients; stir into creamed mixture together with milk. Divide dough in half. Chill 1 hour so it's easy to handle. Roll out one half, keeping the other chilled till you're ready to roll it. Roll 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut; put on greased cooky sheet; sprinkle lightly with sugar; bake in moderate oven (375~) about 10 minutes. Makes 2 1/2 dozen.
