I'm back.....

Sorry, I haven't been on here for a while, first I was baking for 4 day's for my friends wedding, then Thurs. evening, I had the misfortune to fall on my stairs and get a fracture on my left lower leg.  I spent a day and a half in the hospital.  I'm now home, yeah.... but I am in a wheel chair at the present, so I probably won't be doing much baking for a while.  At least not until I can figure a way to get over the difference in the floor levels between the kitchen and the living room.   But, I decided I wanted to put on a recipe anyway.  I am posting the recipe for another cookie recipe that I made for the wedding.   It is Oranged Drop Cookies, a family favorite.

3/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup shortening
