1/2 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Cool on baking sheet for 15 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch slices, and place cut side down on baking sheet. Bake about 15 minutes or until crisp and light brown. Cool on a wire rack.
