Dark Chocolate and Orange Butter Cookies

The butter makes these cookies melt in your mouth.  The dark chocolate and the orange are a perfect combination.

Serves: 36
Cook Time: 9 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon orange extract
• 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup dark unsweetened cocoa
• Confectioners sugar for dusting

Steps

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In the bowl of a stand up mixer (or use a hand mixer), combine the sugar, butter, egg yolk and orange extract. Beat on medium speed until fluffy. Gradually add flour and dark cocoa until well incorporated (about 2-3 minutes). Shape into 1" balls and place 1" apart on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 7-9 minutes or until set. Allow to cool. Roll in confectioners sugar.
