Heat the oven to 360 F degrees. Put the butter in the mixer bowl and whip on high speed for 2 min. Add the sugar and the orange zest, and keep mixing for another minute or so on high speed. Add the eggs one by one. Add another one only after the previous one is well mixed. Add the salt, vanilla and the grand marnier and mix for a little longer. Sift the flour, cocoa powder and the baking powder to a separate bowl. Add to the mixer bowl, while mixing on low speed, in 3 batches. Though every time mix only until the flour is just incorporated, so the dough won't get tough. Cut the chocolate to small pieces. Melt the chocolate in the microwave for about 1-1.5 min until it just starts to melt. Mix well to melt all pieces. Cool for few minutes and then incorporate into the dough with a spatula. Oil a Madeleine pan and sprinkle a bit of sugar in each indentation (even if you use silicon pan). Put a very full tablespoon of batter in each indentation to just fill it. the dough is pretty sticky, but try to flatten it a bit. Bake for 12-15 min, until risen (mostly in the middle) and springy. Let it cool for 15 min and take out the cookies and put on a plate with the bottom side (shell-like) up. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy.
