Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

My main question is, when do I add the baking powder? I followed the instructions, and added it with the second layer, but since it didn't turn out as I had imagined, I wonder if it should have been with the shortening and the powdered sugar. Still, excellent flavor~
Comment #2 from me... Ooops... now I see the flour in the ingredients. I guess I would recommend that you separate the 'crust' ingredients from the topping ingredients, like you separated the frosting ingredients.
The 1 and 1/2 cups of flour is not in the list of ingredients... please add it. This is a great recipe. I got it out of a Betty Crocker Cookbook that I received when I got married in 1980.

These are great cookies! My mom used to make these at holiday time and I have been looking for the complete recipe (the icing part was torn off the one in Mom's recipe box). Different, but delicious. Thanks for posting this!!!!
