Ingredients

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

How-To

Preheat your oven to 360°F.

Beat the coconut oil or shortening with the sugar on medium speed, until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.

Add the egg and vanilla, then drizzle in the citrus juices and zests. Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, then fold into the mixture.

Scoop into desired size onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten them lightly with your palm.
