How to Make Orange Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Juice and zest the orange. Set aside. Strain the orange juice to remove any seeds.
- In a large bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar substitute until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, orange juice, and orange zest until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
