Orange Shortbread Cookies with Dark Chocolate
Yield about 4 dozen
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
¾ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon fresh orange zest
2 cups unbleached all purpose flour
6 ounces dark chocolate
Preparation
1. Cream the butter and sugar in a large bowl. Beat in the vanilla and orange zest.
2. Add the flour gradually, incorporating it fully with each addition.
3. Make balls (or any other shape) using about ¼ cup of dough; flatten gently, placing about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees for about 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool on wire rack.
5. Melt chocolate in sauce pan. Spoon melted chocolate over the cookies, either pooling it or drizzling, or dip the end of the cookie into the pot. Replace on wire rack to cool.
6. Eat with gusto and a glass of milk.
I'm laying in bed blog surfing and I could really use a plate of these cookies... any way to make that happen???

Absolutely! I sell my cookies (and breads)--these are $6 for a baker's dozen, plus shipping. I can get them out fast, though not quite while your hanging tonight!
ReplyDeleteWow, these look fabulous! I love orange with chocolate!
ReplyDeleteAny site that combines good storytelling with a recipe that has both chocolate and cookies is a winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to respond to your e-mail, but sadly it keeps getting bounced back at me :(
Love the site, and I'm sure business will be booming!
Well, that's frustrating! What were you going to say?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your nice compliments! I hope you keep reading. I thoroughly enjoy your great blog, too! (And how about a name idea or two? Cookies and chocolate just for you if we use your idea! ;)
