This is a cookie recipe I got from my mother's cookie book. You can also use the same recipe to make orange cookies by substituting 2 tbs of grated orange peel for the lemon and lime peels and 1/4 cup orange juice for lemon and lime juices in the dough. Substitute 1 tsp grated orange peel for the lime peel and about 2tbs orange juice for the lemon juice and water in the frosting. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
2/3 cup shortening |
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel |
2 teaspoons lime zest |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 tablespoon lime juice |
1 egg |
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups powdered sugar |
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon lime zest |
2 teaspoons water |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 375. Mix sugar, shortening, lemon peel, lime peel, lemon juice, lime juice and egg in large bowl. Stir in remaining ingredients except Lemon Lime frosting. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool completely. Prepare lemon lime frosting by mixing all ingredients for lemon lime frosting until smooth and of spreading consistency.
