~ * SALTED DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE COOKIES RECIPE * ~
INGREDIENTS:
- 75g (5 tbsp) softened butter
- 50g (¼ cup) soft brown sugar
- 50g (¼ cup) caster sugar
- 1 large egg
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 tsp vanilla extract or paste
- 140g (1 cup) plain flour
- ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
- ½ tsp salt, plus extra for sprinkling on top (I used an orange-flavoured salt)
- 125g (4 oz) milk or dark chocolate chunks (I used Valrhona 64% dark chocolate)

INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Line 1-2 baking trays with greaseproof paper.
2) In a large bowl, beat together the butter and sugars until combined into a wet-sand-like mixture.
3) Add the egg, orange zest, and vanilla, beating thoroughly until well incorporated.
4) Tip the flour, bicarbonate of soda, and salt in and stir until you have a smooth dough.
5) Mix in the chocolate chunks until you have a stiff cookie dough.
6) Place the bowl of cookie dough into the fridge to rest and chill for at least 1 hour. Leaving it overnight or for a full 24 hours will produce the best results, but even a few hours will allow a gorgeous texture to develop.
7) About 20 minutes before you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven – 190°C / 170°C fan / 375°F / gas mark 5.
8) Once chilled, roll small chunks of the dough and space them out generously on your prepared trays. You should get 8-12 balls of dough from the mixture. (Feel free to add an extra chunk of chocolate on top to make them extra appealing once baked!)
9) Bake the dough balls in batches on their trays for 10-14 minutes until just golden brown at the edges, and looking dry on top. Obviously, the larger your cookie dough balls are, the longer they may take to bake.
10) Add a gentle sprinkling of salt on top of each cookie (and some extra orange zest if you like).
11) Cool them on their tray for 10 minutes before cooling completely on wire racks.
12) Enjoy!

BE A MAVERICK: why not add some chopped almonds or pistachios to the dough before baking?

These salted dark chocolate orange cookies will keep well in an airtight container for up to 4 days, but are best enjoyed fresh!
