From Jo Ann Shirley's 1978 Cakes and Cookies cookbook. These cookies are flavored with cinnamon, vanilla and orange and are said to make your house smell amazing when you bake them. The dough should be chilled until firm enough to shape into balls, but this time is not included in the prep time I have given.
