Orange Sugar Cookies

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter or margarine
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
Oven: 400 degrees
Measure flour, baking powder, and salt into sifter. In a large bowl, cream butter with one cup of sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and orange rind. Sift in flour mixture, one-third at a time, blending well. Chill until firm enough to handle.
Roll out dough to a sixteen-inch square on a lightly-floured pastry board or cloth. Sprinkle with remaining quarter-cup of sugar. Cut into four-inch squares. Place, one inch apart, on large cookie sheets. Bake about eight minutes, or until firm. Remove cookies to wire racks to cool. Leave as is, or drizzle with orange frosting.
