Time 55m

Yield 12-15 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter (do not use margarine)
1/2 cup sugar
2 large egg yolks, only
1/4 cup orange juice
2 oranges, zest of
4 cups all-purpose flour
powdered sugar, to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400^F.
  • In a large bowl, beat shortening and butter until fluffy.
  • Add sugar a little bit at a time.
  • Add egg yolks, orange juice, and peel.
  • Stir in flour with spatula.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to 3/4". Cut out 2 1/2" circles and place them on a greased baking sheet. Roll the dough scraps and continue to roll until all the dough is used.
  • Bake for 25 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them--they are done when they are barely starting to tan.
  • Transfer to a rack to cool.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar through a fine sieve.

I'm not a fan of the anise flavor in these polvorones. I think I'll try making them without it next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my polvorones turned out dry and crumbly.
