• 2 cups sugar
• 3 tsp. vanilla extract
• 3 eggs
• 5 cups flour
• 3 tsp. baking powder*
• 1 tsp. salt
• 6 Tbs. orange juice

Directions

• Preheat the oven at 350 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, beat the shortening, sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy.
• Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
• Add in the flour, baking powder, and salt all at once and combine.
• With the mixer running at low speed slowly add in the orange juice.
• If the dough is very sticky, refrigerate before trying to roll out.
• When ready, roll the dough on a floured surface so the dough doesnt stick. You can also roll the dough directly on a sheet of parchment paper. The dough can be rolled thinner to create a crunchy cookie or thicker for a soft and chewy cookie.
• Cut shapes out using your favorite cookie cutter.
• Bake at 350 degrees F until light brown at the edges.
