Orange "Scookies"

A Lite Orange Flavored Scone. Other citrus flavors can be made by replacing the orange zest and extract.
Agave Nectar is preferred instead of granulated sugar because it is a low glycemic (but not low calorie) sweetener that can be used smaller quantities as a replacement for granulated cane sugar because it is sweeter.
