Basic Cookie Dough

1/2 c. butter
1 c. sugar (granulated or powdered
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
2 tsp. baking powder

Mix butter with sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla until well mixed. Add flour and baking powder and blend well. Refrigerate overnight in a airtight container.

Its not very sweet at all. So you can add honey, walnuts. choco chips etc etc to make any version of cookies.

Bake at 425 for about 5-8 minutes.

Orange Cake

See Lemon Cake.
Replace Lemon Zest and Lemon Juice with twice the amount of orange zest and orange juice (Additionally I used some of the strained pulp as well).
Also I added 1/4 cup more sugar.
