I love the combination of any fruit flavor with chocolate. These are super, unique cookies and they are pretty easy to make. Only makes 3 dozen, so you may want to double the recipe :) Ingredients:
1/2 cup shortening |
3 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 egg, beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon grated orange rind |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl and beat at low speed until smooth and creamy. 3. Add vanilla and orange rind and beat well. 4. Combine flour and salt and add to cream mixture; beating well. 5. Stir in chocolate chips. 6. Drop dough by heaping teaspoonfuls on to cookies sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until edges just begin to brown. 7. Cool on wire racks. |
