CHOCOLATE ORANGE ROUNDS
Found in "Better Homes & Gardens: Favorite Bars & Cookies" that I found at a yardsale. This recipe jumped out at me immediately. I think it is one of the most impressive cookie recipes I've ever made. I've shortened the steps, as I don't think the level of presentation they ask for is needed. Enjoy!

Tips:

- Be sure to chill the cookie dough thoroughly before baking, as this will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
- If you don't have a citrus zester, you can use a microplane grater to zest the oranges.
- Be careful not to overbake the cookies, as they will dry out quickly.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before decorating with the orange glaze.
