In a large bowl, combine powdered sugar and butter; beat until light and fluffy. Add orange peel; blend well. Add flour and cornstarch; mix well. Stir in 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Divide dough into 4 parts; shape each into a ball. On ungreased cookie sheets, press or roll each ball of dough into a 6 " round, 1/4 " thick. With knife, score each round into 8 wedges in place.* Prick each wedge 3 times with fork. Bake 17-27 min. or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 5 min. Prick again with fork; cut into wedges. Remove from cookie sheets. Cool 15 min. or until completely cooled. In small saucepan over low heat, melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips and shortening, stirring constantly. Dip rounded end of cooled shortbread wedges in melted chocolate; place on waxed paper or wire rack. Let stand until set. *For smaller cookies, score each round of dough into 12 wedges. tamaras_sweet_treats/ My group for all those decadent desserts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
