Ingredients

For about 20 biscuits:

• 200 g of wholemeal flour
• 50 g of whole cane sugar
• 60 ml fresh orange juice
• 60 ml of seed oil (preferably sunflower or corn)
• The grated zest of an organic orange
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• A pinch of salt

Procedure

1. Preparation of the dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, sift the whole wheat flour and baking powder.
   • Add the brown sugar and a pinch of salt, mixing the dry ingredients well.
   • In another bowl, mix the orange juice, seed oil and grated orange zest. Make sure the orange is organic to avoid pesticide residue in the rind.
2. Combine the ingredients:
   • Gradually pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until you have a smooth dough. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, add a little more flour or orange juice to reach the desired consistency.
3. Form the cookies:
   • Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
   • Take small amounts of dough and form balls the size of a walnut. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie.
   • Lightly squeeze each ball with the palm of your hand or a fork to give the cookies a flatter shape.
4. Cooking:
   • Bake the cookies for about 15-18 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Baking times may vary slightly depending on the oven, so check the cookies towards the end of the baking time.
   • Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
5. Preservation:
   • Once cooled, the cookies can be stored in a tin box or airtight container to maintain their freshness for several days.

Tips and variations

• Alternative sweetener: If you want to further reduce the sugar content, you can replace the brown sugar with a natural sweetener such as stevia or erythritol, following the proportions indicated on the product.
• Fragrances: You can experiment with other flavors, such as vanilla extract or a hint of cinnamon, to vary the taste of the cookies.

These orange cookies are a delicious and healthy option for those who want a sweet snack without the guilt.
