Chocolate-Orange Cookie Stacks
"Bon Appétit | March 2007
These have a finished, pastry-shop look but require astoundingly little effort. The stacks need to chill at least six hours, so get started early in the day — or the night before
Chefs note: I have not made these yet- I am posting because I plan to make soon. I read the reviews and some people had a problem with whipped cream getting to peak stage- I will test out and report-- unless someone beats me :) One reviewer added Cointreau to the whipped cream Sounds Yummy! :) Update: What was a waiting for?? Delicious!! This could be very versatile recipe..."

I spent my summers at my Grandparents Cafe (just outside of Noxon Montana) and just love the taste and smell of home cookin'!! My grandma was an amazing person (my rock!) and she made wonderful meals. Her pies (Huckleberry cream was my favorite-yum!) were out of this world. I love to try new recipes and have a goal of making a great "keepers" cookbook to pass on to my kids. Granted they are 12,10 and 6 - so I have plenty of time to create a masterpiece :) I stumbled on to this site~ wow! I love it!
