A sweet orange shortbread cookie recipe, made with orange zest and orange juice. These easy shortbread cookies are also vegan, so they are a bit healthier than other shortbread cookie recipes.
Ingredients:
- 3 cups flour
- 1/3 cup sugar
- zest from 1 orange
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup vegan margarine
- 1 cup soy yogurt
- 1/3 cup orange juice
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
Preparation:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, orange zest, baking powder and baking soda.
Cut in the vegan margarine and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Dough will be dry, so you may need to use your hands for this.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3/4 inch thick. Slice into rectangles approximately two by three inches.
Place on a baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, or until done.
