Ingredients for Mom's Orange Cookies Recipe:
• 2 oranges (the zest of one orange is enough)
• 6 cups of flour
• 100 grams of butter
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• 1 packet of baking powder
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 cup of vegetable oil
• 3 eggs

Making orange cookies without margarine is quite simple.

Steps to Make Orange Cookies:
- Start by extracting the juice from the oranges and grating their zest. If you don't have fresh oranges, you can also use ready-made orange juice, but keep in mind that the orange aroma might be less pronounced without the zest.

- Mix thoroughly the butter, vegetable oil, 2 eggs, 1 egg white (the yolk will be used on top), orange juice, and powdered sugar.

- In a separate bowl, combine 6 cups of flour, baking soda, and baking powder.

- Gradually add the dry mixture and grated orange zest to the liquid ingredients, kneading until well incorporated.

- You will obtain a smooth cookie dough with a slightly liquid consistency.

- Take walnut-sized pieces, roll them in your hands, brush with egg yolk, then sprinkle with crushed nuts. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 175 degrees Celsius for approximately 20 minutes or until they crack on top.

- Enjoy your homemade orange cookies.

We didn't use vanilla in this recipe because the orange zest adds a wonderful fragrance and flavor to the cookies. This recipe truly results in crispy and delicious cookies.
