In a food processor, add the flour, powdered sugar, salt, butter, cocoa powder and orange zest. Pulse until fine crumbs form.

Add the egg yolks, and pulse until the dough comes together.

Cover the dough, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough and cut out the cookie shapes.

Place the cookies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for around 20 - 22 minutes.

Allow to cool completely.

Combine the egg white, powdered sugar, lemon juice and the flavored extract of your choice, to form the icing.
