- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup sour cream see note for substitutions
For the Icing
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla

- Sift dry ingredients together, set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together shortening and sugar.
- Add egg and vanilla, mix well.

- When the cookies are done, they should be dry on the top and the bottom.

- Stir in orange zest, if using.
