Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons milk
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 0.5 cup margarine

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.

Step 2

In a large bowl, cream together the margarine and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and orange juice. Sift together the flour, baking powder and baking soda; stir into the orange mixture. The consistency will be thick and sticky. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets.

Step 3

Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden. Cool on wire racks.

Step 4

In a small bowl, stir together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and milk until smooth. Dip the tops of cooled cookies into the icing, then into sprinkles. Let stand until set.
