Harvey's Little Big Orange Cookies

Another fun little recipe from Aunt Bees Mayberry Cookbook. I love orange flavored cookies, biscuits, cinnamon rolls, scones etc... I admittedly ate more than my share; the boys were not as enthralled as I was. ;)

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons orange extract
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt

In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Add the egg and the remaining ingredients. Drop by the spoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes. [Makes 2 dozen.]
