Chocolate-Dipped Orange Cookies
With orange peel and extract, these tender cookies are bursting with fresh citrus flavor. Dipping them in chocolate adds a special touch.—Joanne Burkert, Beecher, Illinois
36 Servings
Prep: 30 min. Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon orange extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 ounces dark chocolate candy coating
1/2 cup chopped almonds, toasted
Directions
In a large bowl, cream butter and confectioners' sugar until light
and fluffy. Beat in orange peel and extract. Combine flour and salt;
gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
Divide dough into 36 pieces; shape each into a 2-1/2-in. rope. Place
2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12
minutes or until set. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans
to wire racks to cool completely.
In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip ends of
cookies in coating; allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle with almonds.
Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight
container. Yield: 3 dozen.
