Orange Drop Cookies I image

This recipe is from my great grandmother. I entered these in our County Fair. There were over 60 entries in the drop cookie category. I received 2nd place. Pretty darn good, huh? My great grandmother would have been so proud. You can make sour milk by combining 1/2 cup of milk with 1 teaspoon vinegar and allow to set 10 minutes.

I'm not a big fan of orange-flavored desserts, but I actually really liked these cookies. They're not too sweet and the orange flavor is subtle.
