How to Make Choco Orange Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and powdered sugar.
  3. Cut in the chilled butter and orange zest using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  5. Gently bring the dough together, being careful not to overmix. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thickness.
  7. Use a cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut out desired shapes. Alternatively, roll dough into 1-inch balls and flatten slightly with a glass.
  8. Place cookies 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let cool on the baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
