OMG! the amount of hits the Ginger Pumpkin cookies got, it is the new record. With that said i dipped into my cookie recipes from the book and I am posting a very simple cookie, that well, i came up with by mistake: it is one of my favorites.
Orange Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients
3 cup unbleached flour
1 cup raw sugar
2 sticks of butter, unsalted at room temp
1 large egg
2 teaspoons of orange zest, finely grated
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
2 cup dark chocolate chips ( you can also use semi sweet)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Directions
whisk together in a large bowl all the dry ingredients with the exception of the sugar.
Next in the stand mixer cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Next add the orange zest and vanilla, followed by the egg. Once all combined, reduce speed and slowly add the dry ingredients. Once blended well, remove from mixer, form into a ball, wrap in plastic and place in the fridge for at least 4 hours, it is better over night.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cut dough into quarters, roll out to about 1/4 inch thick and using your favorite cookie cutter cut out the cookies and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for about 12 minutes or until cookies start to turn golden brown on the edges and are firm the touch. Remove cookies and parchment to cooling rack to cool.
Over a double boiler melt chocolate, once the chocolate is about melted remove from heat and whisk in butter until smooth. Next dip the cooled cookies into the chocolate and then let cool and set on a wire rack. They will set up in about an hour.
Enjoy cooking
