Ingredients

  • 1 cup margarine

  • 1 ½ cups white sugar

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 2 eggs

  • 3 tablespoons grated orange zest

  • 4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • cup orange juice

  • ¼ cup margarine, melted

  • 2 cups confectioners' sugar

  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest

  • 3 tablespoons orange juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. In a medium bowl, cream together the margarine, sugar and sour cream until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 3 tablespoons orange zest. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into the sugar mixture alternately with 2/3 cup orange juice. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
