Dee's Notes:
The original recipe came from a community cookbook. I don't like using shortening in cookies, so I use butter..but if u don't care, then thats waht the original recipe called for. Or you could use 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. I also added the orange zest to them. These are a very good cake like soft moist cookie. Bursting with orange flavor. yummm
My own pix will be added when I bake these again.

Comments from the Test Kitchen:
These cookies are so light and refreshing! With just the right amount of orange flavor, they are the perfect sweet accompaniment to morning coffee or as an after dinner treat. Directions
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cookie sheets by lining with parchment paper. Zest and juice oranges.
Cream butter and sugar together, beat in eggs, orange juice, zest and emulsion. Sift dry ingredients together. Add flour mixture alternatly with milk to form a soft dough. Scoop cookies onto cookie sheets. Bake for approx 10 minutes or until very lightly browned. Cool for 10 minutes and remove to cooling rack. While cookies finish cooling, make frosting. Whisk all frosting ingredients together and spread on cookies and let set to dry. Enjoy!

LOL@ Susan..the Sara Lee orange cake I make is DH orange supreme cake mix with mandarin oranges and orange jce added to the oil & eggs..hehe
the emulsions I use now come from wwww.lorannoils.com ...
here is what they say about them.
Emulsions have a more potent, robust flavor.
Won't "bake-out" when exposed to heat
Alcohol free
Gluten Free
I like the flavor much better than extracts..they taste like alcohol to me. and bake out. I also use their vanilla bean paste..its awesome.
I got Wendy to finally try em and she likes em too. I bought a bunch of them when I found them in the housewares dept at Ross Dress for Less for $2.99 ($5.50 on LO site)for 4 oz btl..butter/vanilla, coconut, orange, almond, and vanilla bean paste for $5.99
