Ingredients

1/4 cup vegetable shortening
1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 egg
2 tablespoons orange juice
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons poppy seeds

Instructions
In a mixing bowl, cream the shortening, butter and sugar together until well- blended. Add in the egg, orange juice, and vanilla. Fold in flour, salt, baking powder and poppy seeds, adding additional flour if required to make a stiff (but not dry) dough. Wrap well and refrigerate to firm up about one hour.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll dough out to a thickness of 1/8th inch. Cut into 4 inch round cookies, with a plain or serrated cookie cutter.
Bake 15-20 minutes until just golden around edges.
