Ingredients

• Butter: 

  1 1/2 sticks = 170 grams

• Granulated White Sugar: 

  1/2 cups = 100 grams

• Orange zest: 

  5 teaspoon

• Vanilla Extract: 

  1/2 teaspoon

• Flour: 

  1 3/4 cups = 224 grams

• Salt: 

  a pinch

• Chocolate Chips: 

  1/4 cup = 45 grams

Directions

Step by step:

1. Combine flour and salt in a bowl.
2. Place sugar in another bowl, then gather orange zest and add in.
   !! To obtain the most flavor from the orange zest you must grind it with the sugar until it’s moist and fragrant. The result is a light, crispy cookie with a smooth, citrus finish.
3. Mix. Continue to mash until the sugar is moist.
4. Add butter and vanilla. Mix continuously.
5. Add everything together while folding in mini chocolate chips.
6. Form a dough, put in the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 175 C degrees.
8. Cut the dough into slices, or cut with a form you want, then put the cookies on a sheet pan and chill for another 10 minutes in the freezer. ~ This tip reduces spreading while baking.
9. Bake for 20 minutes or until the bottom of cookies is golden brown.
10. Let them cool and serve.
