Make something good.
- 01
Using an electric mixer, beat the shortening, zest and sugar until fluffy, approximately 3-5 minutes. Add the molasses followed by the egg, vanilla, orange extract and Grand Marnier and combine well.
- 02
In a separate bowl, whisk the remaining dry ingredients (except the white sugar) together, then slowly pour into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined. Cover and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- 03
When ready to bake, shape dough into 1 tablespoon balls, roll in white sugar and set on baking sheet. Sprinkle with extra black pepper. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
