Viewed: 66 - Published at: 2 years agoIngredients
- 2 12 cups flour
- 1 cup shortening
- 1 12 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 orange rind, grated
- 1 tablespoon triple sec or 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier
- 12 cup cocoa, I like to use 1/4 cup regular cocoa and 1/4 cup dark chocolate cocoa
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 14 teaspoon salt
Method
- Cream sugar and shortening with orange rind, extracts and liqueur.
- If you don't have the liqueurs add another teaspoon of orange extract.
- Add eggs one at a time and mix well.
- Slowly add dry ingredients until stiff dough is formed.
- Place in bowl and set in fridge for about 30 minutes.
- This helps make dough workable.
- Heat oven to 325F as the chocolate burns easy at higher temperatures.
- Use about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll into ball and place on ungreased cookie sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake 12-15 minutes until tops start to fall.
- Place on platter to cool.
