These cookies are unique in both flavor and texture. Because they are made with powdered sugar instead of granulated sugar, they have a texture that just melts in your mouth. One of our family favorites!

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup butter
1 ½ cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon orange extract
1 tablespoon grated orange zest

Steps:

The terrific combination of chocolate and orange makes these some of the best truffles I've ever had. As holiday gifts, they're showstoppers. I have little time to cook, but when I do, I like to "get fancy." In this case, "fancy" doesn't have to be difficult. -Lori Kostecki, Wausau, Wisconsin
