Laverne's Hamler Ohio Orange cookies

sonny

1 cup margarine or butter
2 cups Sugar
Juice and grated rine from 1 orange
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp baking soda
5 cups flour
1 tsp salt

Icing
3 cups powder sugar *
Juice and grated rine from 1 orange

* I only had 2 the other day and it made JUST enough

Bake 10 minutes at 350-watch the bottoms,they will burn. These should not turn brown. Icing is messy so be sure you ice on something. NOTE: These are NOT good fresh out of the oven, but the next morning with a cup of coffee x:7

We just bought some Florida Oranges from a school fundraiser so that should make them REALLY yummy!

I'm going to try this but why are they Ohio cookies?

Recipe came from an old room mate's Mom who was from Hamler

I made these yesterday and they are super!! A great hit. I altered the recipe by just a tad. I puree'd the whole orange and used it instead of the rind and juice only. I added about 2 tablespoons of pineapple/orange juice and 1/4 tsp of vanilla. They came out of the oven more like scones than cookies.

Now that it's altered, is it a Maryland Orange Cookie? x:-/ x:D

Sure why not? Like your changes. Will have to try them. Always hate grating the orange!
