Instructions: Combine flour and baking powder. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and shortening until butter is softened. Add sugar and beat until fluffy. Add egg, milk, orange peel and vanilla; beat well. Add flour mixture and beat until well-mixed. Cover and chill about 30 minutes, or until easy to handle. Shape into two 8-inch rolls. Wrap and chill for several hours or overnight.

Cut dough into 1/4 inch slices. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Place a cherry on the bottom half of each slice for bell clapper. Fold in sides of slice, overlapping at top and slightly covering cherry. Pinch in sides to resemble bell shape. Bake in 350-degree oven for 12-14 minutes, or until done. Remove from cookie sheets and cool.
