Orange Crispies

1 cup sugar
1 cup Crisco
1 large egg
1½ tsp orange extract
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt

BEAT sugar and Crisco at low speed with an electric mixture until creamy. Add egg and extract, beating until blended. Gradually add flour and salt, beating dough until light and fluffy after each addition.

DROP mixture by rounded teaspoonfuls, 2 inches apart, onto ungreased baking sheets.

BAKE at 375 F for 10 minutes or just until edges begin to brown; remove to wire racks to cool. Makes 5 dozen.
