Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup finely chopped blanched almonds
GLAZE:
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup finely chopped blanched almonds

Directions

Preheat oven to 325°. In a large bowl, beat butter, cream cheese, sugar and salt until blended. Beat in orange zest and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. Stir in almonds.

Shape dough into 1-in. balls; place 2 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Bake until firm, 20-25 minutes. Remove from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
For glaze, in a microwave, melt chocolate and butter; stir until smooth. Dip each cookie halfway in chocolate; allow excess to drip off. Sprinkle with almonds. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set.
