Cooking instruction summary:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease VERY lightly.In a large bowl beat together the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for about a minute. Slowly pour in the buttermilk and mix.In a smaller bowl whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet and mix until just combined. The dough will be sticky.Scoop the dough out using a #70 cookie scoop or a tablespoon (the sticky dough makes a cookie scoop the easier route) and place about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.Bake for 8-9 minutes but NOT any longer! You don’t want dry cake.Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.To make the frosting, beat together the butter and powdered sugar, starting out slowly and gradually increasing mixer speed (this is so you don't explode powdered sugar everywhere). The mixture will be dry.Add the orange zest and beat for about a minute. Then add the orange juice and cream. Beat the frosting until it's fluffy. Add more cream if it seems too thick.To make the ganache heat the cream in a small saucepan until it simmers. Place the other ingredients in a medium bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate butter and orange zest. Let it sit for about 4 minutes. Stir until smooth. You can add the mixture back to heat if it cools before the ganache is smooth. Melting the chocolate this way makes it smooth and shiny.Frost the sandwiches with the ganache and let it set up before serving.
