Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar

- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest (optional)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Directions
-
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg; mix until well combined.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, flour, salt, and orange zest, if using. Add flour mixture to egg mixture; continue mixing until the ingredients are just combined, scraping down sides of the bowl.

Scrape dough onto a piece of plastic wrap; flatten into a disk. Wrap, and chill at least 1 hour or overnight.
-
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place granulated sugar in a small bowl.
-
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Using a 2-inch-round cutter, cut out cookies. Carefully press each cookie into granulated sugar. Transfer cookies to sheets, spaced 1/2 inch apart.

Bake until cookies are firm, about 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack. Wrap in foil.
