My husband gives these his seal of approval! Nice orange flavor to these cookies; they'd be good even without the chocolate. Ok... who am I kidding? EVERYTHING is better with chocolate, right? :)

These butter cookies just melt in your mouth. Orange zest gives the cookies a refreshing orange flavor. Dipping them in chocolate makes them even better. Pack in a cellophane bag and you have a lovely party favor or hostess gift.

How To Make chocolate dipped orange butter cookies

Step 1

Heat oven to 375. In large bowl, combine sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg; blend well.

Step 2

Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and orange zest.
Step 3

Roll dough into 1" balls and place 2" apart on ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar.
Step 4

Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool for 1 minute and transfer to cooling rack to let cool completely.
Step 5

Combine glaze ingredients and melt in microwave. To do this, heat for 1 minute; stir. Heat for 30 seconds; stir. Repeat heating for 30 second intervals until most chips are melted, stirring in between each cycle.
Step 6

Dip 1/2 of each cookie into the glaze.
Step 7

Shake off excess and place dipped cookies on a cookie sheet that has been lined with wax paper.
Step 8

Chill in fridge until glaze is set; about 10 minutes.
