Orange Cookies with Chocolate Filling Recipe
Continuing the theme of Italian baking, I can not stop at the fragrant orange cookies. Inside-a tender and crumbly shortbread dough, outside-a crisp crust. And the combination of "orange-chocolate" makes it even tastier. If you have never had a chance to try such cookies - be sure to fix it!)

Cook Time 60 minutes
Ingredients
- 380 gram Flour wheat / Flour
- 80 gram Butter
- 1 piece Chicken egg
- 70 gram Sugar in dough
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 80 ml Orange juice
- Orange zest to taste
- 60 gram Dark chocolate (cocoa 56%)
- 60 gram Sugar powder for breading
Instructions
- First, mix all the dry ingredients. Sift 380 g of flour. We also send 2 tsp.without a hill of baking powder and 70 g of sugar. We mix everything well.
- Add 80 g of soft butter and rub the dough into a crumb with light movements.
- Previously, I prepared the zest from one orange and from the same orange I got 80 ml of freshly squeezed juice. Add one medium egg, zest and orange juice to the crumbs.
- Knead the dough. It should be soft and elastic, even slightly airy. We transfer it to a bag or wrap it with plastic wrap and send it to the refrigerator for 25-30 minutes.
- We take the dough out of the refrigerator. We prepare sugar and powdered sugar for breading. We pinch off a piece of dough about the size of a walnut, spread a piece of chocolate, pinch it well, round it up and breaded first in sugar, and then in powdered sugar. Thanks to this, they will be covered with a pleasant crispy crust during the cooking process.
- We spread the cookies on a baking sheet at a distance of 3-4 cm, because during cooking they will increase in volume. Bake in the "bottom-top" mode without convection. At 180 degrees, the livers were baked for 15 minutes.
- We take it out of the oven, let it cool down a little and you can eat! During the baking process, the chocolate melted and became pleasantly viscous. Bon Appetit!
