5 cups of flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup of orange juice (no pulp)
Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the oil and sugar, then add eggs and then
the lemon extract and orange juice. Add baking powder and when that is mixed in add flour. The dough will
be very sticky. After it is all mixed, let it stand in the refrigerator for about an hour. This will make handling
the dough much easier. (Usually while one batch is in the fridge now is a good time to make a 2nd batch).
Roll out the dough into balls about the size of golf balls. Bake on non-stick cookie sheets or grease
regular cookie sheets with a non-sticking baking spray like PAM. Bake in a preheated oven at 350* for
about 10-12 mins (baking times will vary based on ovens). The cookies will start to crack open on the tops
when they are done and they will brown on the bottom. They will not brown on the top so be careful not to
overcook them. Place on a wire rack to cool.
Make a frosting of confectionery sugar and lemon extract and just enough milk for the right consistency
for the glaze. Sprinkle with non parels or a half slice of maraschino cherries.
WINTER DRIVING TIPS:
1. Drive slowly - Adjust your speed
down to account for lower traction
2. Increase your following distance -
This increased margin of safety
will provide the longer distance
needed if you have to stop
3. Accelerate and decelerate
slowly - Don’t try to get moving
in a hurry and take time to slow
down for a stoplight
4. Don’t stop going up a hill - Get
some inertia going on a flat roadway
before you take on the hill.
5. Stay home! Only go out if necessary.
