Ingredients
- 125 g soft butter
- 100 g brown sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 100 g dark chocolate (finely grated)
- 2 tsp grated orange zest
- 200 g Flour
- 100 g powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp Orange juice
Instructions
-
1.
Cream together butter, sugar, salt and chocolate.
-
2.
Fold in egg and orange zest. Sift flour over the mixture and quickly knead into a smooth dough. Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and refrigerate for about 1 hour.
-
3.
Roll out the dough to about 3 mm thickness in portions. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters (e.g., snowmen) or cut freehand. Place cookies on parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 200°C in the middle rack for about 10 minutes, then remove and cool on wire racks.

4.
For the glaze whisk powdered sugar and orange juice until smooth, put into a freezer bag, cut a small corner and trace the cookie edges with the glaze. (Optionally decorate with orange sugar: grate zest with 100 g sugar in an electric grinder, sprinkle cookies 5 minutes before baking ends.)
