Ingredients

- 400g flour

- 100g sugar

- pinch of salt

- 1 orange

- 170g butter

- 1 egg + 1 egg yoak

- ½ spoon baking powder (optional)

- chocolate chips (optional)

Put 400g of flour in a bowl, add baking powder if desired (you can add the baking powder if you want, the difference between cookies with baking powder and cookies without is that the former will be softer), add 170g cold butter sliced and mix until the butter and flour form small beads.

Add 100g of sugar and 1 egg + 1 yolk and mix with your hands. Add the orange zest and its juice in the bowl.

Make a ball with the dough.

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees (350F). Make the dough flat with a roling pin. To make it flat, you can put the dough in between of two pieces of baking paper and flatten it by using a roll. You can make your dough between ½ cm and 1 cm thick depending on your taste (the thicker the cookie is, the softer and less crispy it will be).

Now make the cookies with the shapes you like the best and decorate them with chocolate chips.

Bake them for 8-10-13 minutes depending on your oven. Let them get cold and enjoy them or decorate them with some icing (look the recipe here)
