Chocolate Orange Cookies Recipe

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a microwave-safe dish melt the unsweetened chocolate stirring frequently until smooth. Set aside.

In a medium bowl cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla. Combine the flour baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Divide dough in two. Mix orange zest into one half and melted chocolate into the other half. Use a bit of each mixture to form a ball about 1 inch in diameter.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven or until center is set. Cool on wire racks.
