ingredients
-
Cookies
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup butter
- 1 teaspoon orange, flavor
- 1 3⁄4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1⁄4 cup cornstarch
- 3⁄4 cup miniature chocolate chip
-
Glaze
- 3⁄4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon shortening
directions
- In a large bowl, combine all cookie ingredients and mix well with your hands. (If you use a mixer, it will not mix them well enough and break your mixer.) It is very important to MIX WELL!
- Divide dough into 4 parts; shape each into a ball. On ungreased cookie sheets, lightly press 2 balls per cookie sheet on opposite sides. Each dough ball should be about 6 inches round, 1/4 inch thick. With a knife, score each round into 8 wedges, leaving wedges in place. Prick each wedge 3 times with a fork.
- Bake at 325 degrees F. for 17-27 minutes. Cool 5 minutes and prick each wedge again 3 times. Cut into wedges and remove from cookie sheets. In a small saucepan, melt 3/4 cup chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon shortening until smooth, constantly stirring. Dip wedges into glaze or use a spoon to make cool designs. Let glaze set.

Made this recipe as given, with one exception ~ I added a teaspoon of minced orange zest to give the orange flavor a boost! Very nice, & we appreciate you posting the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's Pick A Chef event]
