Here's another easy one that everyone seems to love.
Orange Drop Cookies
1 1/2 C sugar
1 C butter
1 tsp baking powder
4 1/2 C flour
2 eggs
1 C orange juice
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 tsp orange zest
Cream sugar, eggs, butter and orange zest. Mix dry ingredients together and add to creamed mixture alternately with orange juice. Drop from tsp onto greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.
When the cookies have cooled frost with podered sugar frosting using orange juice as liquid and orange extract instead of vanilla.
(This is a recipe that my mother has made ever since I can remember and the frosting recipe is as detailed as what she told me. I use about 2 cups of confectioner's sugar and add small amounts of the OJ until it's of spreading consistency. Sort of like a glaze.)

These all sound SO GOOD I'm definitely going to print each one out and add it to the mix!
I discovered today (hee hee, sheepish) that I have 4 cookie cookbooks! I'm wondering if there are any recipes for cookies anyone can't find and maybe I've got it in one of mine. My most prized is Betty Crocker's Cooky Book, probably published 1965 or so. Definitely a passing of the torch moment when my mom gave me her copy in 1998!!

OK, here's another yummy :9 variation on chocolate chips.
Soft and Chewy Chocolate Chips
1 1/4 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups margarine or butter, softened
2 teaspoons vanilla
3 eggs
4 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 to 2 (12 oz) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate chips (I usually only use one bag unless I'm doubling and I've used milk choc chips too - you can't go wrong. )
Heat oven to 375. In a large bowl, beat sugar, brown sugar and margarine until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and eggs; blend well. Add flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Makes 6 dozen.
ENJOY!!! :9
