1/2 cup butter (1 cube) softened
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup butter flavored Crisco
2 cups sugar
Zest of 1 orange
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
8 tsp milk
4 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
Cream butter, shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in orange zest, vanilla, eggs and milk. Sift dry ingredients and add a cupful at a time until dough comes together. Refrigerate for an hour or freeze for 30 minutes. Roll to 1/8-1/4 inch thick on a floured board. Cut into desired shape. Place in cookie sheet that has been very lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Bake at 350 for 9-12 minutes just until tops look set. Let sit on cookie sheet for a few minutes. Remove to cooling rack, cool, frost and enjoy!
You can use all crisco if you prefer.
I baked them on the upper middle rack in my oven and they took about 11 minutes to bake. They do spread a little but are good enough to eat without frosting!
