Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400^F.
  2. In a large bowl, beat shortening and butter until fluffy.
  3. Add sugar a little bit at a time.
  4. Add egg yolks, orange juice, and peel.
  5. Stir in flour with spatula.
  6. 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.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them-they are done when they are barely starting to tan.
  8. Transfer to a rack to cool.
  9. Sprinkle with powdered sugar through a fine sieve.
