CHOCOLATE-DIPPED ORANGE COOKIES



Chocolate-Dipped Orange Cookies image

This recipe originally called for lemon in place of the orange but orange and chocolate translates to Christmas for me. Found the original in The Washington Post who attributed the Ghirardelli Chocolate Cookbook. In homage, consider using Ghirardelli chocolate for this recipe. Whatever chocolate you use, use block chocolate, not morsels. ****dough needs 30 to 60 minute minimum chill in the fridge (good for making the day before)**** These turned out to be the star on the Christmas platters. Several folks would not believe these were not purchased! They are that good with bittersweet chocolate & about 3+ teaspoons orange zest. Will make next with tangerine zest!

Time 31m

Yield 60 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature (2 sticks)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons orange zest, finely grated
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken & chopped into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • For the dough: Combine the confectioners' sugar and butter in the large bowl of a stand mixer or hand-held mixer; beat on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the egg, lemon zest, and lemon and vanilla extracts.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder and salt on a sheet of wax paper. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Use well-floured hands to form the dough into a compact log 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 to 60 minutes.
  • When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Carefully cut the dough into 1/4-inch-thick slices, turning the log slightly every few cuts to ensure even, round slices. Place the rounds 1 inch apart on the baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, until the cookie edges are golden. Cool for 1 minute on the sheets, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Keep the parchment paper on the baking sheets.
  • While the cookies are cooling, make the glaze: Melt the chocolate in a small metal bowl suspended over a saucepan of very hot water over medium heat, stirring occasionally until smooth. Add the melted butter and continue stirring to mix well. Remove from the heat.
  • Place a wire rack on one of the parchment-paper-lined baking sheets. Holding each cookie vertically, dip it halfway into the melted chocolate mixture. Place the cookie on the rack and repeat with the remaining cookies and chocolate. Let the cookies set for 45 to 60 minutes, until the chocolate is firm, before storing.

CANDIED-ORANGE WAFERS



Candied-Orange Wafers image

(Teules de Taronja) These crisp cookies are shaped like the terra-cotta roof tiles, teules (tejas in Castilian Spanish), that top village houses-old and new-throughout Spain. Almonds are a common ingredient in Catalan cookies, but we took another cue from the Moors and added candied orange.

Yield Makes 12 to 14 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup minced candied orange zest
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 large egg whites
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Silpat or Exopat nonstick pad

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Beat together butter, sugar, zest, and vanilla with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. Reduce speed to low and beat in egg whites. (Mixture will look curdled.) Whisk in flour just until incorporated.
  • Drop 4 rounded tablespoons of batter about 3 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with nonstick pad. Spread batter evenly into 4‚- to 5-inch circles with back of a spoon dipped in cold water. Bake cookies in middle of oven, turning sheet 180 degrees halfway through baking, until golden brown, about 10 minutes total.
  • Cool cookies 30 seconds on baking sheet (to facilitate removal), then carefully remove cookies with a thin metal spatula and immediately drape over a rolling pin to create a curved shape. (If cookies become too brittle to drape over rolling pin, return to oven a few seconds to soften.) When cool, transfer cookies to an airtight container. Make more cookies in same manner, cooling and cleaning nonstick pad and baking sheet between batches.

Categories     Cookies     Bake     Orange     Winter     Cinnamon     Gourmet

Yield Makes about 6 dozen 1-inch cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, well softened
1/3 cup Demerara sugar such as Sugar in the Raw
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh orange zest (from 1 large orange)
1 large egg white
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 scant 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Special Equipment
a pastry bag fitted with 1/2-inch plain tip (optional)

Steps:

  • Blend together butter, sugar, and zest with a rubber spatula. Add egg white and stir until combined well. Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt onto butter mixture and stir until flour is just incorporated. Chill dough, covered (or in pastry bag if using), until firm but not hard, about 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Pipe or drop 1/2-teaspoon mounds about 3 inches apart onto lightly buttered baking sheets and bake in batches until edges are golden, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool cookies on sheets until warm (about 2 minutes), then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the orange wafers into even pieces.
  • Make sure the chocolate is melted smoothly before dipping the wafers.
  • If the chocolate is too thick, add a little vegetable oil to thin it out.
  • Dip the wafers into the chocolate one at a time, using a fork to help coat them evenly.
  • Place the dipped wafers on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
  • Refrigerate the wafers until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
  • Store the wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-dipped orange wafer cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious treat that everyone will love.
