Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- In a bowl whisk together flour, zest, and salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat butter, juice, and confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy and beat in flour mixture until a dough is just formed. Pat dough into a disk and chill, wrapped in plastic wrap, 30 minutes, or until firm.
- On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin roll dough into a 13- by 12-inch rectangle (about 1/3 inch thick). Cut out cookies with a
- 3 1/2- to 4-inch heart-shaped cutter dipped in flour and arrange 1 inch apart on baking sheets. Using dough scraps, roll and cut out more cookies in same manner. Bake shortbread in batches in middle of oven 10 to 15 minutes, or until pale golden, and cool completely on baking sheets on racks. Carefully transfer cookies to a platter.
- In a double boiler or in a metal bowl set over pan of barely simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Pour warm chocolate onto a plate and dip in half of top side of each cookie, transferring cookies, chocolate sides up, to a wax-paper-lined tray. Chill cookies until chocolate is hardened. Cookies keep, chilled, in a airtight container 4 days.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh oranges. The zest and juice of fresh oranges will give your cookies the best flavor.
- If you don't have any orange extract, you can use vanilla extract instead. However, the orange extract will give your cookies a more authentic orange flavor.
- Be sure to chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies keep their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- If you don't have any sanding sugar, you can use regular granulated sugar instead. However, the sanding sugar will give your cookies a more sparkly appearance.
- Be careful not to over-dip the cookies in the chocolate. If you dip them too far, the chocolate will be too thick and it will be difficult to bite through.
Conclusion:
These chocolate-dipped orange shortbread cookies are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these cookies a try!
