Mix together sugar and orange zest, and chill for overnight.
In a mixing bowl blend the butter with the granulated sugar. Add the egg yolks and orange zest, scraping the sides to make sure all zest is incorporated. Add all the dry ingredients. Scrape then mix to form dough. Roll into a log and chill the dough in the refrigerator for a few hours. Remove the chilled dough, and gently roll the log into the orange sugar.
