Line two or three baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the vegetable shortening, vanilla extract, and orange extract.
Slowly add the condensed soymilk, mixing until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated.
Gently fold in the semisweet chocolate chips and the orange zest.
Drop about 2 tablespoons (40 g) of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches (7.
5 cm) apart, as the cookies will spread while baking.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
