The original recipe came from a magazine, but I doctored it a bit. This recipe incorporates frozen orange juice concentrate, for the added orange flavour that reviewers are missing in other recipes of this type. I think next time I will use orange extract or orange liquor.. Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups sifted flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 cup vegetable shortening |
1 cup sugar |
3 ounces cream cheese, softened |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed |
1 teaspoon orange rind, grated |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips |
2 cups icing sugar, sifted |
3 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1 teaspoon orange juice concentrate, thawed |
1 teaspoon orange rind, grated |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*. Combine flour and salt. Beat shortening, sugar and cream cheese until well-mixed. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the orange juice concentrate and the rind. Blend in the flour and salt. Stir in the chocolate chips.
2. Drop dough by teaspoonfuls, 2 apart on lightly greased cookie sheets.
3. Bake 350* for 10-12 minutes, until light brown around the edges. Cool.
4. ICING:.
5. Slowly beat icing sugar into the cream cheese until well blended. Stir in the orange juice and orange rind. Ice the cookies.
