Mother's Orange Zest Cookies
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tea cup vegetable oil
- 1 tea cup yogurt
- 2 tablespoons starch
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 packet vanilla
- zest of 1 to 2 oranges
- 3 to 3.5 cups flour
For the topping
- 1 egg yolk
- granulated sugar
Preparation
Mix all ingredients except flour and gradually add flour until a soft, non-sticky dough is formed.
Shape the dough into balls and place on a baking tray; if it spreads slightly before baking, it will spread more in the oven.
Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius.
Tips
Add flour carefully after 3 cups to achieve the right dough consistency.
The cookies should have a crispy outside and soft inside when done.
