Cream shortening, cream cheese, & sugar well. Beat in egg yolk, vanilla & orange rind zest. Gradually blend in flour, salt, & cinnamon. Chill for at least half an hour. Fill cookie press.

Suggestions for centers of round formed cookies are: various kinds of chips, nuts, cut-up maraschino cherries, red hots, cherry sours. For Christmas tree-shaped cookies, a star sprinkle for top and multi-colored sprinkles for the body of the tree. These cookies freeze well (separate layers with plastic wrap or waxed paper).
