Ingredients:

Serving

cookies
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp orange extract
1 egg
2 tbsp grated orange peel
2 cups white flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans , optional
white sugar (for dipping the glass in to flatten the cookies before baking)
glaze (i just melt an 8 oz hershey chocolate bar)
1 cup milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips , depending on your taste
3 tbsp light corn syrup
4 tbsp solid

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” balls, and place them 2” apart on a lightly greased baking sheet (I found that a 1/2 tablespoon measuring spoon was the perfect size for dainty sized cookies).
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 1/2 of each cookie into the glaze and lay on waxed paper to allow the glaze to set up and harden; sprinkle glaze with chopped nuts, if desired.
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, and continue to microwave 15 seconds at a time until all the chocolate is melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate or you will end up with a grainy, hard blob of chocolate!!
