How to make
-
STEP 1
Combine molasses, brown sugar, butter, egg and orange zest in bowl. Beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add all remaining ingredients except chocolate; beat at low speed until well mixed. Divide dough in half; wrap each half in plastic food wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours or until firm.
-
STEP 2
Heat oven to 375°F.
-
STEP 3
Roll one-half of dough (keeping remaining half refrigerated) on well-floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Cut with 3- to 4-inch cookie cutters. Place, 1 inch apart, onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 6-8 minutes or until no indentation remains when touched. Cool completely.
-
STEP 4
Dip cooled cookies in melted chocolate. Place onto waxed paper to set.
Tip #1
If you want to frost these cookies instead of dipping them in chocolate: Combine 4 cups powdered sugar, 1/2 cup softened LAND O LAKES® Butter and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract in bowl. Beat at low speed, adding 3-4 tablespoons milk or until desired spreading consistency. If desired, tint frosting with food color. Decorate cooled cookies with frosting.
