Instructions

In a bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the egg, the zest and the orange juice, mixing well.
Stir in the flour, baking powder and salt until you have a smooth dough.
Shape into a ball, wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and line two baking trays with baking paper.
Roll the dough out to 4 mm, cut out shapes and place them on the trays, spaced apart.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden.
Cool on a wire rack before serving, or dip them in the melted chocolate.
