Ingredients

1 cup sugar

¾ cup butter, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 egg

2 tablespoons grated orange peel

2 cups white flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

white sugar (for dipping the glass in to flatten the cookies before baking)

Glaze

1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

4 tablespoons solid shortening (like Crisco – trans-fat free…you could try substituting butter, but I have never tried that so I don’t know if it would work as well)

Directions

For the cookies, beat together sugar and butter in a large bowl.

Beat in the extract, egg and orange peel.

Stir in remaining cookie ingredients until well mixed.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls, and place them 2-inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

Flatten each ball with the bottom of a glass that has been dipped in white sugar.

Bake at 375 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes, just until the cookies begin to brown very lightly around the edges.

Remove cookies from baking sheet and cool on racks or waxed paper.

When cookies are cool, dip ½ of each cookie into the glaze and lay on waxed paper to allow the glaze to set up and harden.

Store in air-tight container, using waxed paper to separate layers – this will prevent the chocolate glaze from sticking to the other cookies.

To make the glaze, place the chocolate chips in a narrow, deep microwaveable bowl (I use a 4 cup glass measuring cup for this).

Add corn syrup and shortening to bowl.

Microwave glaze for 45 seconds.

Depending on the power of your microwave, continue to microwave 15 seconds at a time until you can stir the glaze and all the chocolate is melted.

NOTE: If you have never melted chocolate in the microwave, you must be VERY careful not to overheat it or the chocolate will form into a massive grainy, hard mess and it will have to be thrown out! Continue to microwave 15 seconds at a time, stirring after each interval, until all the chocolate is melted and the glaze is smooth.
