This new cookie has turned out to be one of my favorites. I found this recipe during the holiday season last year and put it back to make this year. It has cardamon in it and that is my secret ingredient in my gingerbread men so I was excited to try this recipe.
These are my sample cookies. They sure were good.
The only draw back to this recipe is that it uses 2 cups of butter. The large Hershey bars are right at 1 1/2 cups chopped.
Before you start mixing up the dough do a little work first. You will need to zest a large orange.
It's a good Tablespoon or so. It smells so good.
And chop 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate.
Now we are ready to start mixing. Place 4 sticks-2 cups softened butter in a bowl.
Add 2 cups sugar. Whip until fluffy.
Add the orange zest.
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 teaspoon cardamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
Mix all this well.
Add 5 cups + 2 Tablespoons of all purpose flour
When all that is mixed well add the chopped chocolate.
The dough all mixed up. It is a perfect blend of orange, chocolate and spices.
These are the sample cookies. Place in a preheated 375 oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
These are going in the freezer.
And these are for enjoying now. I really think you will like these cookies.
