ORANGE DROP COOKIES
From the 1963 Betty Crocker Cooky Book. These are a cake-like cookie. For variety, add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts, raisins or chocolate chips. I used chocolate chips because I enjoy the taste of chocolate and orange together.

ORANGE DROP COOKIES I
This recipe is from my great grandmother. I entered these in our County Fair. There were over 60 entries in the drop cookie category. I received 2nd place. Pretty darn good, huh? My great grandmother would have been so proud. You can make sour milk by combining 1/2 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar and allow to set 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a medium bowl, beat butter.
- Gradually add the brown sugar, beat until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, orange zest and orange juice, and mix until smooth.
- Add baking mix and mix well.
- Stir in the walnuts and chocolate chops.
- Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Tips:
- Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges will give your cookies the best flavor. If you can, use organic oranges, as they will have the fewest pesticides.
- Zest the oranges finely. This will help to release the orange flavor into the cookies.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth, even cookie dough.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming too dry.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Do not overmix the dough, or the cookies will be tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before serving.
