Total Time1 hour 20 minutes
Course: Cookies Bars and Brownies
Cuisine: American
Servings: 4 1/2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 1 /2 cups Dixie Crystals 10X powdered sugar
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey pure orange extract
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

For the Glaze:

  • 12 ounces good quality semi-sweet baking bar broken or chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and Dixie Crystals 10x powdered sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg, orange extract, orange zest, and vanilla extract.
  • In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. With well-floured hands, form the dough into a 1 1/2 inch wide log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice the dough into 1/4-inch thick slices. Place the rounds 1-inch apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until edges are golden. Cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheet and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • To make the glaze: Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler or heatproof bowl, over barely simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. Add the melted butter and continue stirring until completely blended.
  • Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Holding a cookie vertically, dip it into the melted chocolate mixture about halfway. Place the cookie on one of the prepared cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining cookies. Transfer the cookie sheets to a cool place and allow the chocolate to set for approximately 45 to 60 minutes. Store tightly covered at room temperature, with parchment paper or waxed paper separating the layers.
