CHOCOLATE COVERED LOG COOKIES This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Trevor Estate in Rockwall, Texas in 1997.

- 3-1/4 cups all purpose flour shopping list
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate melted shopping list
- 1 cup pecans finely chopped shopping list

- In large bowl cream butter until smooth.
- Gradually beat in sugar and cream until fluffy then beat in eggs one at a time.
- Stir in grated orange peel and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add flour until blended.
- Make a ball with the dough then flatten and wrap in plastic and place in refrigerator 1 hour.
- Remove dough from refrigerator and let soften 10 minutes.
- Taking small pieces of dough roll into balls and then 3" logs.
- Place logs onto ungreased cookie sheets leaving several inches between for expansion.
- Bake 10 minutes then cook on sheets for 1 minute and remove to rack and cool completely.
