FULL RECIPE FOR GRANMA'S ORANGE COOKIES
Ingredients
For the dough:
2 oranges (zest of 2; juice of 1)
3 eggs, (1 egg yolk for decoration)
1 cups sugar
125 gr butter
1/3 cup grape seed oil (or sunflower oil)
1/3 cup yogurt
tbsp baking powder
tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanillin
5 - 6 cups flour

For shaping and decoration:
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp grape seed oil
1 tsp water
2 tbsp sugar

Directions:
PREPARATION
Wash the oranges. Finely grate the skin of 2 oranges into a large bowl.
Add 2 eggs and 1 egg white into the bowl. Separate and set aside 1 egg yolk for decoration.
Add 1 cups of sugar and 1/3 cup of grape seed oil into the bowl.
Pour 1 tsp of grape seed oil over the egg yolk to prevent drying (save the rest of the oil for shaping the dough).
Add 125 g of room temperature butter, 1/3 cup of yogurt, and 1/3 cup of fresh orange juice into the bowl, as well. Thoroughly mix the ingredients.
Then, add tbsp of baking powder, tsp of baking soda, and 1 tsp of vanillin into the bowl.

MAKING THE DOUGH
Smooth the mixture as much as possible a whisk can be quite useful for this part.
Then, add the flour step by step to control the consistency of the dough:
First, add 2 cups of flour. Then, add 1 more cup of flour while still kneading the dough.
Add the rest of the flour in smaller portions like cup, 1/3 cup, or cup at a time.
Achieving a soft and sticky dough requires a total of 5 to 6 cups of flour. Once your dough has reached the right consistency, knead for 3 to 5 more minutes and collect all the dough into a big ball.
Since the dough is sticky, you may appreciate a silicone dough scraper to collect all the bits of dough.
Do not add more flour to ease working with the dough, achieving soft cookies requires a soft dough!
Now, take smaller pieces from the large mass of dough and begin creating your cookies! Ive found that 5-6 cm balls make perfect-sized cookies.
You could use a tool or simply round the dough in your hands*.
*When forming the cookies, oil your hands from time to time to easily handle the sticky dough.

DECORATION
Once the cookies are formed, cut the top of the cookies to form a superficial X.
Add 1 tsp of water into the egg yolk and grape seed oil mixture. Using a brush, mix and apply a thin layer of this mixture over the cookies.
Finally, sprinkle the sugar over the cookies.

BAKING
Preheat the oven to 370F (or 180C), place the cookies in the oven and bake for 30 minutes or until they turn golden.
