Time 20m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup butter
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons orange zest (I used 1 tsp extract, very orangey!)
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate

Steps:

In large bown, beat butter with a mixer for 30 seconds. Add sugar, baking powde, salt. Beat until combined.
Beat in egg and vanilla. Add flour.
Divide dough in half. Stir orange zest/extract into one portion, melted chocolate into the other.
Pinch off small, equal portions of each type of dough, rolling it into a ball between your fingers. (This dough is supposed to yield 60 cookies, so you can make more or less, just make 60 balls of each flavor.) Combine one chocolate ball with one orange ball, rolling them together between your palms. Flatten if needed.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and place in an oven preheated to 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on cookie rack.
