List of Ingredients



• 1 lb. Crisco
  
• 1 3/4 C. sugar
  
• 4 jumbo eggs
  
• zest of 2 oranges
  
• 1 T. pure vanilla
  
• 2 lb. Maseca
  
• 3 T. baking powder
  
• 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
  
• 1 tsp. all-purpose flour
  






Instructions



1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
   
   
2. Cream Crisco and sugar together in a large bowl. Add eggs, orange zest, and vanilla. Combine Maseca, baking powder, cinnamon, and flour in another bowl. Stir and add 1/2 of the mixture to the shortening mixture. Beat on low speed until combined. Add the remaining flour mixture and knead with your hands until dough is combined.
   
   
3. Roll a small portion of the dough into a thin log; pinch ends together to form a small ring. Place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Place the cookies closely together and bake. They won't spread. Bake until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove and let cool.
