Irresistibly Easy Chocolate Dipped Orange Shortbread Cookies blend citrus and chocolate for a holiday treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 orange zest
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons orange extract
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate

Instructions

  1. Combine the granulated sugar and orange zest in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is vibrant and the zest is finely ground.
  2. Add the flour, softened butter, salt, and optional orange extract. Pulse until the dough just comes together into a shaggy ball.
  3. Turn the dough onto a clean surface and form it into a smooth ball, ensuring there are no crumbly bits.
  4. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll each portion into logs about 12 inches long. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours.
  5. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  6. Remove the logs from the fridge and slice them into ½ inch thick rounds, placing them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes until the edges are just golden.
  8. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. Melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
  10. Dip each cooled cookie halfway into the melted chocolate and place on parchment paper to set.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • You can use white chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a different flavor.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle sea salt on top of the chocolate before it sets.
