For that reason, in 2019 I decided to create <a href=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/en\/cookie-box-for-christmas\/\">a stress free cookie box<\/a> because, let's be honest, sometimes Christmas \"rhymes\" with hustle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead we don't want to feel those \"hectic vibes\". We just want to have fun, right?! That's why for this series of three recipes, I will use pretty much the <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">same<\/span> shortbread cookie dough base and only change flavor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YEP, just like in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/en\/cookie-box-for-christmas\/\">my 2019 Christmas Cookie Box<\/a><\/strong> (which, by the way, I would check out if I were you!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My plan? First is these <strong>chocolate orange shortbread cookies <\/strong>(with a touch of brandy), then <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/en\/hazelnut-shortbread-cookies\/\">hazelnut shortbread cookies<\/a><\/strong> and finally <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/en\/lemon-shortbread-cookies\/\">simple lemon shortbread cookies!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You ready to try all these shortbread recipes and build your own box?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18089\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-3-1-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recipe ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The shortbread cookie base is very simple and it's made with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>All purpose flour.<\/strong> I am Italian and I use 00 flour. AP works fine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Butter<\/strong>. Unsalted! For a very good shortbread cookie dough, high quality butter is essential.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Powdered sugar.<\/strong> You can also use regular white sugar but you'll probably taste the \"grains\". I like icing\/confectioner's best.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Orange zest<\/strong>. Remember to use organic oranges. There's the zest from a whole orange inside, to really taste its amazing flavor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brandy<\/strong>. Ah! This is the key ingredient here to take it to the next level. If you don't have it, just use vanilla extract. Feel free to experiment with bourbon too.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chocolate<\/strong>. Of your choice. I like dark chocolate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Egg<\/strong> <strong>and salt.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make chocolate orange shortbread cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially when I'm in the kitchen, my code word is <em>simplicity<\/em>. So these shortbread cookies with chocolate, orange and brandy NEEDED to be <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">very<\/span> simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The base recipe is very similar (almost identical) to the one from my Christmas cookie box, simply because THAT is my favorite recipe and it's \"foolproof\". I made it dozens of time and it's always INCREDIBLE, so I am 100% confident you'll love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let's see how to make it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Prepare the dough<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add flour, powdered sugar, unsalted butter, egg, salt, orange zest and brandy (you can also try bourbon) to a food processor* and blend until you get a crumbly mixture. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take it out on a work surface (dusted with flour) and work with your hands until you get a nice dough.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slightly flatten it with your hands, cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the fridge (or freezer, if dough is very soft) for about 30-60 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>*Alternatively put everything inside a large mixing bowl, and use your stand mixer at medium speed to combine all the ingredients with a paddle attachment (in case it sticks, use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Form the cookies and bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Roll out the dough on a dusted work surface (or use two sheets of parchment paper) about 0.2 inch thickness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cut into shapes using a cookie cutter (read the FAQ for the other method), and arrange them&nbsp;on a cookie sheet, lined with parchment paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At this point, I recommend making them chill into the fridge for about 10 minutes. So they can hold their shape while baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake cookies at 180\u00b0 C \/ 355\u00b0 F for about 14-17 minutes (every oven is different).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let cool down on a wire rack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>P.S. the amount of cookies could vary based on the cutter you use (I made about 40)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Decorate<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lastly, decorate with melted chocolate (dark or milk) using a piping bag or simply a spoon.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And your delicious treat is ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-4-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1669377172508\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I add chocolate into the dough?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Absolutely yes. Cut the chocolate into very tiny chunks, then add them to the dough.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1669377629365\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How can I make these cookies without cutters?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Simply roll the dough into a 1 inch log. Wrap in parchment paper then refrigerate for about 1 hour. Cut discs using a sharp knife.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1669377783083\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can you really taste the brandy?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Despite using almost 3 tablespoons, the brandy flavor WON'T be dominant, it just gives an<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"> extra kick<\/span> (so delicious!!!). I wouldn't recommend adding more, since it will alter the structure of the dough.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1669377820635\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can I freeze these shortbread cookies after baking?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">I haven't tried freezing them when ready, but if you have to make a big batch you can form the cookies, freeze them on a flat surface, then put them into a freezer bag. When you're ready to bake, just place them on a tray and bake (may need a bit more minutes).<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1669377928769\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How do I store these cookies?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">After baking, you can store these in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 7-10 days.  You can also wrap them in a cute plastic bag and gift to friends\/family.<br\/><\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PRO TIP. \"Infuse\" orange zest into sugar, for an intense flavor.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yep. That's right. If you have a bit of time prior to making these cookies, add orange zest in a bowl with the sugar and let \"infuse\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18084\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-720x1080.jpg 720w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-360x540.jpg 360w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-180x270.jpg 180w, https:\/\/healthylittlecravings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/shortbread-cookies-with-chocolate-and-orange-2-150x225.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>If you make this recipe, please be sure to give it a rating and leave a comment!
