Ingredients

1 1/3 cups unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 None orange, grated rind
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp orange juice
1/4 cup cocoa powder

Preparation

Beat butter and powdered sugar until pale and creamy. Reduce speed, add vanilla and orange rind and mix well. Divide creamed mixture in half and place in two separate bowls.
Add 1 cup of sifted flour and 1 tablespoon of orange juice to one bowl of creamed mixture and mix to form a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board. Knead gently to form a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes.
Add remaining sifted flour, orange juice and cocoa to remaining creamed mixture and mix to form a dough. Knead to form a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes
Roll out each piece of dough separately between two sheets of parchment paper to form a 9 x 12 inch rectangle. Transfer orange sheet of dough onto a baking sheet, leaving parchment paper underneath. Lay chocolate dough directly on top. Chill for 15 minutes.
Starting at long edge, roll up dough, using paper as a support. Chill for 30 minutes, until firm
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350\u00b0F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut dough into 1/8 inch slices and arrange on prepared baking sheets. Bake for 13-15 minutes, until golden. Cool completely on wire racks.
