Directions
- Heat oven to 180C.
- Cream together the butter, sugar, orange zest and vanilla. Add eggs one by one, beating after each addition. Sift in cornflour, flour, cocoa and baking powder. Mix together. Roll out between 2 sheets of baking paper to 4mm thick. Put in the fridge until firm enough to handle. Cut out biscuits with a 4cm cutter, cook for 6 minutes or until just cooked.
