Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. (Approximately 3-5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Beat in the egg, then stir in the poppy seeds, yogurt, and orange zest until well combined. (Approximately 1-2 minutes)

03

Step
3 mins

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Approximately 2-3 minutes)

04

Step
4 hrs

Divide the dough into 3 equal portions. Wrap each portion tightly in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight, or for at least 4 hours. (Chill time: minimum 4 hours)

05

Step
0 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

06

Step
5 mins

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough to a ¼-inch thickness. Use cookie cutters or a sharp knife to cut out desired shapes.

07

Step
1 mins

Place the cookies onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving a small space between each cookie.

08

Step
9 mins

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

09

Step
1 mins

Transfer the cookies to wire racks to cool completely.

For a richer flavor, use butter-flavored shortening.
Ensure the shortening is at room temperature for easier creaming.
If the dough is too soft to roll, chill it for an additional 30 minutes.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
