Dark Chocolate & Orange Shortbread Cookies
Servings: 40 Cookies
Calories: 53kcal
Ingredients
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅓ cup rice flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tbsp orange zest grated
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp orange extract
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, mix flours, salt, and zest together. Make sure to zest the orange with a fine grater. This will give you a cookie with small bits of zest evenly distributed in the cookie instead of long strands.
- In a stand mixer or separate bowl, cream butter and sugars together. Add extracts and mix well. Add flour mixture and once well incorporated, add chocolate chips.
- Put dough on parchment paper or plastic wrap and roll out to a ½" log. Wrap well and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line large baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove cookie dough from refrigerator and slice ¼" thick. Evenly spread out on cookie sheet (leave about 2" of space between cookies since dough will spread) and bake for 17-19 minutes. You will know they are done when the edges and bottom of the cookie are light brown.
- Let cool in the pan on a cooling rack for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to baking rack to continue to cool. Enjoy!
