    Chewy Chocolate Citrus Cookies

    7 November 2022 by Becky at Fikabröd Leave a Comment

    Yield: about 2 dozen cookies

    Ingredients

    Cookie Dough:

    • 1 1/3 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
    • ½ tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 1 tsp instant espresso powder
    • 1 cup (198g) granulated sugar
    • zest of 1 large orange
    • ½ cup (42g) unsweetened cocoa powder
    • ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, melted & cooled slightly
    • 1 egg, room temp
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • ½ cup (85g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • ¼ cup + 2 Tbsp (45g) Kankitsu Labo Candied Iyokan Peel, rough chopped

    Topping:

    • 2 Tbsp (21g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
    • 2 Tbsp (15g) Kankitsu Labo Candied Iyokan Peel, chopped small

    Directions

    1. Heat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
    2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and espresso powder.
    3. In another medium bowl, combine sugar and orange zest. Using your fingers, rub together until sugar turns yellowy-orange and you smell that citrusy goodness.
    4. Add cocoa powder and melted butter, gently whisking until combined. Whisk in egg and vanilla.
    5. Add flour mixture to wet mixture, mixing with a silicone spatula just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and iyokan peel.
    6. Form dough into balls that are about 1 ½ tablespoons each. (A #40 cookie scoop is super helpful here.) Top each with a couple chocolate chips.
    7. Optional: Chill cookies for 30 minutes prior to baking.
    8. Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are set.
    9. Transfer baking sheets to wire racks. For perfectly round cookies, try Erin Clarkson’s cookie scoot method when they’re fresh out of the oven.
    10. Taking care not to burn your fingers, gently press some chopped iyokan peel onto the top of each cookie.
    11. Let cookies cool on baking sheets for about 10 minutes before transferring cookies to wire rack to cool completely.

    Hej, I’m Becky, the founder of Fikabröd! Baking isn’t just about the treats—though my husband never complains about those! Baking is about the act. It’s an expression of creativity, a show of love, a moment to relax. For me, it’s also an adventure.
