List of Ingredients




-1 c sugar
- 3/4 c butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 2 c all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder - 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 Tbsp grated orange peel
GLAZE:
- 6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 c butter, softened
- 3 Tbsp light corn syrup

Recipe



Heat oven to 375.

In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and orange peel. Roll dough into 1-inch balls.


Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten with bottom of glass dipped in sugar to 1/8 to 1/4-inch thickness.

Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. In small saucepan over low heat, combine glaze ingredients, stirring constantly until smooth.

Remove from heat. Pour glaze into glass measuring cup; set in pan of hot water. Dip ½ of each cookie into glaze; shake off excess chocolate. Place dipped cookies on waxed paper-lined cookie sheets. Chill until glaze is set, about 10 minutes.

Makes about 6 dozen cookies.
