Ingredients:
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 until you're ready to roll it. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Cut; put on greased cookie sheet; sprinkle lightly with sugar; bake in moderate oven at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
