1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees (fan) 350F

2. Start by putting the flour, baking powder and salt together and give it a good mix.

3. In a separate large bowl put together the sugar and orange zest. Now the trick here is to rub the zest and sugar together!

4. Once you have rubbed it altogether add in the butter and cream it together until it is fluffy.

5. Add in the egg and orange juice, continue to mix everything together.

6. Gradually start adding in the flour and mix it in with a spatula .

7. Chop the chocolate buttons into small pieces, add it into the bowl. Give it a good mix.

8. Prepare the baking trays with some parchment paper and use a tablespoon to scoop out the mixture, roll it into a ball with your hands and pop it onto the tray.

9. Cook for around 15 mins or until you see the edges start to turn golden.

10. Enjoy!
