15 - Chocolate Orange Cookies
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, melted
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and 1/2 cup sugar. Add egg and vanilla. Gradually add flour and salt; mix well. Cover and chill for 15 minutes. Roll dough on a floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with a 2-inch cookie cutter or shape into 2-inch x 1-inch rectangles. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Combine orange peel and remaining sugar; spread over cookies. Bake at 350 degrees 14-16 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate cookies with melted chocolate.
