Chocolate orange icebox cookies

Chatelaine Triple Tested

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

  • 2 tbsp orange zest

Instructions

  • Stir flour with baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside. Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and 2 tbsp grated orange zest to flour mixture.

  • Beat butter with sugar in a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium-high, until fluffy. Beat in egg. Gradually beat in flour mixture, just until combined. Gather into a ball. Divide dough in half, then roll each portion into a 2-inch-wide log. Wrap logs in wax paper and twist ends. Chill until firm, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

  • Position racks in top and bottom thirds of oven. Preheat to 350F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.

  • Slice cookies into 1/4-inch rounds and arrange 1 inch apart on prepared sheets. Bake in top and bottom thirds of oven, switching halfway through, until cookies are golden, 10 to 12 min. Let cookies cool on sheets for 1 min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough. Cookies will keep well, stored in an airtight container at room temperature, up to 5 days.
