How to Make Orange Shortbread Cookies With Chocolate Chips

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the orange zest and vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie.
  7. Flatten each ball slightly with a fork.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
