2376.0. "Chocolate Orange Delights" by BARTLE::WHITCOMB () Thu Apr 19 1990 11:36

    Chocolate Orange Delights
    
    	3 ounces unsweetened chocolate
    	3/4 cup butter
    	1 cup brown sugar
    	1 cup white sugar
    	1/2 cup sour cream
    	2 eggs
    	2 tsp grated orange peel
    	2 cups sifted flour
    	1 tsp baking soda
    	1/2 tsp salt
    	1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
    	2 cups chocolate chips
    Chocolate Glaze:
    	3 ounces semisweet chocolate
    	1 tsp orange extract
    	4 tbsp butter
    
    Melt unsweetened chocolate and allow to cool.  Cream butter and sugars
    thoroughly until very light.  Add sour cream, eggs, orange peel and
    melted unsweetened chocolate.  Beat well.  Stir in flour, baking soda
    and salt.  Add nuts and chocolate chips.  Drop dough by rounded
    teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets.  Bake for 12 to 15
    minutes at 375 F.  Let cookies cool on wire racks.
    
    Chocolate Glaze:  Melt semisweet chocolate with orange extract in small
    heavy saucepan over low heat.  Add butter a tablespoon at a time.  Stir
    until smooth.  Spread on cookies; if desired, decorate with candy
    sprinkles before glaze sets.  Makes about 6 dozen cookies.

    Brought these to a party over the weekend and they vanished in no time. 
    Terrific cookies, especially for chocolate lovers!  Instead of orange
    extract, Cointreau was substituted, but the flavor wasn't "orangey"
    enough.
    These are probably excellent with a variety of nuts such as pecans,
    walnuts and macadamia.  White chocolate chunks would also go well. 
    Next time....
