Frosting:

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Cream butter, then gradually add the sugar and brown sugar, creaming well. Add eggs and orange rind; beat well. Stir in sour cream, then blend in dry ingredients. Stir in chopped pecans.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on greased baking sheet. Bake at 375� F on middle shelf of oven for 8 to 10 minutes.
