Description

Ingredients

• 2 cups butter
• 2 cups sugar
• zest of one medium-large orange (about 1 tablespoon or so)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 5 cups + 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups finely chopped dark chocolate

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
• Cream together the butter, sugar and orange zest until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, cardamom and salt until well blended. Mix in the flour, until you have a smooth, well-mixed dough, and then quickly mix in the chopped dark chocolate until just well scattered.
• Scoop the dough out onto parchment-lined baking sheets and flatten slightly with a fork dipped in cold water.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden brown. Remove to a cooling rack to cool completely before storing in Tupperware in the freezer (if they dont all get eaten right away, that is!).
