• With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in flour mixture and mix just until combined. Stir in chocolate chunks.
• Shape dough into large balls, about 3 Tbsp each (58 grams each). Transfer balls to plates, cover with plastic wrap and chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees during last 10 minutes of chilling.
• Transfer chilled cookie dough balls to Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheets and sprinkle tops lightly with sea salt (keep any that aren't currently baking in refrigerator).
• Bake in preheated oven about 11 - 12 minutes. Allow to cool on baking sheet several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat the butter with an electric whisk until it is light and fluffy, then beat in the icing sugar a little at a time, adding the orange zest and 1 tbsp orange juice. Beat in the flour and cocoa a little at a time, then mix in the chocolate and orange peel and 1-2 tbsp milk.
• Divide the mixture into two, pat each into a rough log shape on a piece of non-stick wrap or baking parchment, then use the wrap to help you shape each piece into a log around 15cm long. Chill until firm, about 2 hrs (see tip, below).
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line two baking sheets. Cut ½cm-thick cookies from the dough and lay them on the baking sheets, leaving space so they can puff up and spread. Put a piece of sugared candied orange on top of each. Bake for 10-15 mins or until the cookies are puffed. Cool on the sheets for a couple of mins before sliding them onto a wire rack. Will keep for two to three days in an airtight container.

CHOCOLATE CHUNK, ORANGE AND HAZELNUT COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Combine flour, baking soda and 1/8 teaspoon salt in medium bowl; whisk to blend. Using electric mixer, beat brown sugar, unsalted butter, grated orange peel and vanilla extract in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Add flour mixture and mix just until combined. Mix in chocolate chunks and toasted hazelnuts.
• Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls onto 2 ungreased baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake cookies until just firm to touch and beginning to brown, about 13 minutes. Transfer to racks; cool. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.)

CHOCOLATE ORANGE FUDGE CRINKLE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Mix the cocoa, 200g caster sugar and oil together with most of the orange zest. Whisk in the eggs one at a time, until fully combined.
• Stir the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together in a separate bowl, then add to the cocoa mixture and mix until you form a soft dough. If the dough feels very soft, transfer it to the fridge and chill for 1 hr.
• Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5 and line a baking tray with baking parchment. Tip the remaining caster sugar into a small bowl. Add a drop of food colouring and stir it through the sugar until it's all coloured - add more if you want a stronger colour. Stir in the icing sugar until all of the sugar is coloured, then stir in the remaining orange zest.
• Form a heaped teaspoon of the dough into a ball, then roll in the sugar to coat, you might have to press the sugar on, particularly if you've chilled the dough. If the sugar is not sticking well, roll the balls of dough between your hands until the mixture warms up a little. Repeat with the remaining dough, then put, evenly spaced, on the baking tray.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 10 mins - they will crinkle as they cook. The biscuits will firm up as they cool so don't overcook them. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. Will keep for four days in a biscuit tin.
