- Blend the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, orange peels, and orange zest, and combine it well with the butter mixture.
- Form the dough into logs, wrap them in wax paper, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 300°F, and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Cut the logs into ¼-inch slices, and bake until they start turning light golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Place on a baking rack to cool, about 20 minutes.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat on high for 1 minute. Stir, and then heat for 30 seconds; repeat until the chocolate is melted.
- Dip each cookie halfway into the chocolate, and place on wax paper. Sprinkle extra orange zest for added flavor, and let cool.
