I was so happy to find this recipe after misplacing my index card with my grandma's very same. Orange cookies were a once a year treat on my birthday. Upon receipt l would hide the bounty from everyone. A couple pointers, chill the mixing bowl before creaming the cold butter and sugar, double the baking powder, and depending on how crowded the cook time may take longef. Thanks for preserving the recipe.
