Preparing the dough:
In a large bowl, sift the wholemeal flour and baking powder for desserts. Add the whole-grain brown sugar and a pinch of salt, mixing well with the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, combine the orange juice, seed oil, and grated orange zest. Make sure the orange is organic to avoid pesticide residue in the rind.
Adding the ingredients:
Gradually pour the liquid ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be soft but not sticky. If necessary, add a little more flour or orange juice to achieve the desired consistency.
To form the cookies:
Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take a few small amounts of dough and form balls about the size of a walnut. Place them on the baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie. Lightly flatten each ball with the palm of your hand or a fork to flatten the cookies.
Baking: Bake and Bake: Bake
Bake the cookies for approximately 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown. Baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven, so check the cookies near the end of the baking time.
Bread the cookies and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
Storage:
Once cooled, the cookies can be stored in a tin or airtight container to keep them fresh for several days.
Tips and Variations
Alternative Sweetener: If you want to reduce the sugar content further, you can substitute a natural sweetener such as stevia or erythritol for the brown sugar, following the proportions indicated on the product. Flavors: You can experiment with other flavors, such as vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon, to vary the taste of the cookies.
These orange cookies are a delicious and healthy option for those looking for a sweet, guilt-free snack.
