Chocolate Orange Cookies: Method

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking power and salt, then set aside.

In another bowl - or in a stand mixer - beat the sugar and the butter until thick and creamy. Add the egg, vanilla and orange extracts, and beat until well blended. Add the zest and the flour mixture and blend until a soft dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave in the fridge for a minimum of one hour and up to overnight.

Turn the dough on a light floured surface. Roll until the dough is about 3/16 of an inch thick. Cut into 2 inch circles with a cookie cutter - a biscuit cutter works well also. Place the cookies on an UNgreased cookie sheet.

Gather the scraps and roll.
