Ingredients
  

  • 180 g ¾ cup Unsalted Butter softened
  • 100 g ¾ cup Powdered sugar
  • 270 g 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 21 g ¼ cup Cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Orange extract optional
  • A pinch of salt
  • 70 g ⅜ cup Chocolate Chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Line an 8x8-inch baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract, orange extract(optional), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  • Sift in All-purpose flour. Mix just until the dough comes together.
  • Transfer 1/3rd of the dough into another bowl. Into the 2/3rd portion add chocolate chips. Combine with a spatula.
  • Into the 1/3rd portion add cocoa powder. Combine well.
  • Take out small chunks from both chocolate and vanilla dough. Randomly place them in the prepared baking tray to create a marble effect.
  • Using your hands or flat-bottomed utensil flatten the dough into a smooth even layer.
  • Score/cut the dough with a sharp knife/scrapper into approximately 1-by-4-inch bars(or your preferred shape). Use a fork to prick the surface of the cookie dough.
  • Bake at 180℃/350℉ for 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes in the pan, then re-cut the bars along the previous cuts. Carefully lift the bar off the baking tray with the help of the overhang parchment paper. Transfer each bar to a wire rack to cool completely.
