Preparation
Step 1
COOKIES:
Heat oven to 350°F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, fitted with paddle attachment, add butter and sugars and beat until creamy and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Stir in egg, vanilla extract, orange zest and orange juice.
Beat until just combined.
In a separate bowl whisk flour, baking powder, salt and cocoa powder.
Add flour mixture alternately with milk to creamed butter.
With a medium size scoop, drop cookie dough on prepared baking sheets.
Bake for 9 minutes or until edges are set and centers are soft to the touch.
Remove from oven and let cookies cool slightly on baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
FROSTING:
In a mixing bowl add cream cheese and butter.
With paddle attachment on, beat on low speed until creamy and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing it in before adding more.
Once all sugar is added, fold in grated orange zest.
Spoon frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe onto half of the cookies.
Top with the remaining cookies.
