Thoroughly cream shortening, sugar, orange peel, and vanilla. Add egg; beat till light and fluffy. Stir in milk. Sift together dry ingredients; blend in creamed mixture. Divide dough in half so it will chill more evenly. Chill one hour.

This recipe is from the Betty Crocker Cookbook and it serves as our basic Christmas cookie. Use Christmas cookie cutters in season and be careful with the tiny reindeer legs. Use Red Hots for Rudolph's nose.
