Dancer's second batch of cookies for the night. This one is also from the Taste Of Home Baking Book and is by Ruth Rumple. These may be the best cookie I have ever eaten in my life as orange and chocolate are one of my favorite flavor combinations. I told Dancer to quick get these in the freezer because I could have eaten the whole batch.
Chocolate Orange Cookies
1 cup butter softened
3/4 cup sugar divided
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup finely grated orange peel
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and salt. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
On floured surface, roll out dough to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters or glass rim. Combine orange peel and the rest of sugar and sprinkle over cookies.
Bake 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes or just until edges brown. Cool cookies. Melt chocolate chips and drizzle over cookies.
These look and sound good!! I like the orange and chocolate combo also, and its hard to find recipes for that combo.
