| 1/2 | pound | lard | |
| 1 | cup | sugar | |
| 1 | each | egg | jumbo, or |
| 2 | each | egg | small |
| 1 | x | orange zest | of 1 orange |
| 3 c To 3 1/2 | cups | flour, unbleached all-purpose | |
| 1 1/2 | teaspoons | baking powder | |
| 1/4 | teaspoon | salt | |
| 1 to 2 | tablespoon | orange juice | optional |
| 2 | tablespoons | cinnamon | ground |
Cream lard in large mixing bowl with spoon or electric mixer until light and fluffy.
Beat in 1/2 cup sugar little at a time. Beat in egg and orange rind.
Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in bowl.
Add flour mixture to creamed lard mixture about 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
After 3 cups flour are added, dough should be smooth and workable, somewhat stiff.
If it seems to loose, beat in up to 1/2 cup more flour.
If too hard to mix, add up to 2 tablespoons orange juice.
Refrigerate dough until thoroughly chilled, 30 to 40 minutes.
On lightly floured surface, roll out dough about 1/8-inch thick and cut with cookie cutters (or pipe onto ungreased baking sheet using large pastry bag fitted with No.5 star tip).
Bake on ungreased baking sheet at 350 degrees until edges are golden, about 10 to 12 minutes.
Combine cinnamon and remaining 1/2 cup sugar in bowl and roll cookies in mixture.

Last Christmas was a weird experience in itself. First of all, as a college student you get a longer Christmas break because you finish exams early....
I made these with splenda brand sweetner instead of sugar and they where delicious, even my boyfriend loved them it's a great way to reduce the calories. Super great for diabetics! Just sub splenda 1 cup instaed of sugar,and follow recipe as is.
When President-elect Barack Obama made tuna salad with his family on “60 Minutes” last year, he used this recipe, specifying troll-caught albacore.
