How to Make Orange Cinnamon Crisps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening and 1 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add the zest of 1 large orange.
- Stir in 1/4 cup fresh orange juice.
- Gradually add 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until just combined.
- Roll dough into walnut-sized balls.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon.
- Roll dough balls in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Place balls onto ungreased baking sheets. Gently flatten each cookie with the bottom of a glass dipped in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
