- Combine sugar and shortening in large bowl. I use a "cutting" tool. Add eggs, syrup, vanilla, orange, and lemon rind. Blend well.
- In a seperate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Stir this well and then gradually add to sugar mixture.
- Form 4 balls and let chill at least an hour. Lightly flour surface of countertop, top of dough ball, and rolling pin and roll about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut shapes and place on cookie sheet 1-2 inches apart.
- If I'm making small cookies I bake at 375F no longer than 5 minutes and for larger cookies no longer than 9.
- After these cool I ice them with an icing make from powdered sugar, skim milk, corn syrup and vanilla extract (plus food coloring) and decorate with white cream cheese icing.
