CHOCOLATE ICEBOX COOKIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer at low speed for 30 seconds. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes until the mixture is fluffy.
• Reduce mixer speed to low and add the egg and vanilla. Beat for about 20 to 30 seconds, just until combined.
• Add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, and stir gently until combined.
• Divide the dough in two and roll each into a 2-inch-wide cylinder. Wrap the cylinders in wax paper, twisting the ends to seal them. Chill the dough until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Place baking racks at the top and bottom thirds of the oven. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• Slice the dough into 1/4-inch rounds. Place the cookies on the sheet pans 1 inch apart.
• Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Switch the sheet pans so that the top pan is now at the bottom, and vice versa. Bake for another 5 to 6 minutes, until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the sheet pans for 1 minute. Transfer them into a wire rack and let them cool completely.
• Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll cookie dough as thin as chocolate chips will allow. Cut out cookies using a biscuit cutter and place on a baking sheet.

Steps:

• In a large bowl with a hand mixer or the bowl of your stand mixer, cream together the butter, sugars and orange zest, if using, until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and egg white and beat well to combine.

• Add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture and stir just until combined.
• Divide the cookie dough into four equal pieces, roll each into a 15-centimeter (6-inch) log and wrap in plastic wrap. Place the cookie dough in the freezer for at least 4 hours or for up to 2 months.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice off as many cookies as you'd like to bake into 1-centimeter (1/2-inch) thick rounds and place on the baking sheet leaving 2 centimeters (1 inch) in between each.
• Sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt, if using, then bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies are no longer shiny. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
