4 c Powdered Sugar

1/3 c Evaporated Milk

1 ts Vanilla

2 tb Grated Orange Rind

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, orange juice, rinds, vanilla and sour milk. Mix well. Add all dry ingredients which have been sifted (NOT! I`m lazy) together. Blend everything together well. Optional - one cup of nuts. Drop by teaspoon on greased cookie sheet, (I used teflon cookie sheet ~ no greasing) Bake at 350% for 5 to 8 minutes. ICING: Beat it all together and slap on the VERY COOLED DOWN cookies. This makes a cake like cookie just exploding with orange flavor
