Ingredients
Method
Mixing the Batter
- In a medium bowl, combine butter, orange zest, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar. Beat until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Combining Dry Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour and kosher salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture and mix until the dough appears shaggy.
Adding Chocolate
- Gently fold in chopped dark chocolate until well combined, forming a cohesive dough.
Chilling the Dough
- Place half of the dough on plastic wrap and shape it into an 8-inch log. Repeat with the remaining dough. Wrap tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
Prepping for Baking
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove logs from the refrigerator and slice into ⅓-inch discs.
Baking
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange cookie discs. Bake for 13-15 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a minute before transferring to a wire rack.
Notes
Chilling the dough is essential for maintaining the shape of the cookies. Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
