Lemon and Orange Vitality Cookies Recipe

I just love anything citrus. I love it in foods, I love it in products and I love the bright, beautiful colors as well. In fact, I am such a fan of lemon curd that I have a series of recipes using curd in some way: Lemon Curd Tart, Lemon Mousse, Lemon Pound Cake, Lemon Poppyseed Scones, Lemon Tartlets and Lemon Curd Trifle. I am also a huge fan of anything orange. I have orange soap, shampoo, perfume, face wipes and so much more. There is just something so refreshing about the taste and smell of anything citrus. It's uplifting and positive. These cookies give me that same feeling. We hope that you love this Lemon and Orange Vitality Cookies Recipe.

Lemon and Orange Vitality Cookies Recipe

Ingredients

• 1¼-2 cups pancake mix
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp baking powder
• ½ cup butter
• ¾ cup white sugar
• 1 large egg
• ½ tsp. vanilla extract
• 7 drops of lemon vitality
• 4 drops of orange vitality
• 2 tbsp of orange zest

Directions

1. Combine 1 ¼ cup of pancake mix, baking soda and baking powder together and set aside. Blend together butter and sugar until smooth.
2. Add egg, vanilla, oils and zest. Blend well. Slowly combine dry ingredients while mixing. If dough is too sticky to roll into ball shapes, add a little more pancake mix until it's more stiff and easy to roll.
3. Roll into balls and place of parchment lined cookie sheet or ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake at 375 for 8-10 mins or until golden brown around the edges.
5. Store in airtight container. Cookies are good for 3-4 days.

We also suggest juicing the orange before getting that zest so you aren't wasting fruit. This cookies are so easy to make and delicious. The refreshing taste of citrus combined with a chewy cookie is just such a great combination. We hope that you are inspired by this Lemon and Orange Vitality Cookies Recipe. Happy baking!
