Chocolate Orange Cookies

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 oranges, zested with a microplane
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• pinch salt
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1. In either a stand or hand-held electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and soft, about 3 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and orange zest and mix to combine.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients - flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Add to the butter-sugar-egg mixture and beat until just combined.
3. Add the chocolate chips and fold in with a spoon. (I waited until all the cookies were on baking sheets and individually placed five chocolate chips in each one, but in retrospect that seems awfully fussy.)
4. Plop teaspoon-sized balls on a greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for roughly 10 minutes. Remove from tray and cool on a wire rack, or, as my mother always does, on a brown paper grocery bag.
