In bowl, stir together flour, cake flour, powdered sugar, salt, and chocolate chips thoroughly. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. In mixer bowl, beat the butter, orange zest, and bay at high speed until light and fluffy. Add flour mixture. Mix on low speed until all ingredients are moist and mixture forms a ball. Don’t over mix.
