1 c All-purpose flour
1 tb Freshly grated orange zest;
-(from about 2 n
3/4 ts Salt
1 Stick unsalted butter;
-softened
1 ts Fresh orange juice
3/4 c + 2 tablespoons
-confectioners’ sugar
6 oz Fine-quality bittersweet
-chocolate
(not unsweetened); chopped
Preheat oven to 325 F. In a bowl whisk together flour, zest, and
salt. In another bowl with an electric mixer beat butter, juice, and
confectioners’ sugar until light and fluffy and beat in flour mixture
until a dough is just formed. Pat dough into a disk and chill,
wrapped in plastic wrap, 30 minutes, or until firm.
On a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin, roll dough
into a 13- by 12-inch rectangle (about 1/3 inch thick). Cut out
cookies with a 3-1/2 to 4-inch heart-shaped cutter dipped in flour
and arrange l inch apart on baking sheets. Using dough scraps, roll
and cut out more cookies in same manner. Bake shortbread in batches
in middle of oven 10 – 15 minutes, or until pale golden, and cool
completely on baking sheets on racks. Carefully transfer cookies to a
platter.
In a double boiler or in a metal bowl set over a pan of barely
simmering water melt chocolate, stirring until smooth. Pour warm
chocolat onto a plate and dip in half of top side of each cookie,
transferring cookies, chocolate sides up, to a wax-paper-lined tray.
Chill cookies until chocolate is hardened. Cookies keep chilled, in an
airtight container, 4 days. About l2 cookies. Yum!
