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.
