Tasty Tuesdays Orange Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies

I was at my cousins last week while she was trying to find a dessert recipe for her dinner party that night. She came upon this recipe and it was SO yummy and SO easy to make!

1 cup icing sugar

1 tablespoon grated orange peel

1 3/4 cups flour

1/4 cup cornstarch

3/4 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips (we used regular size and it was fine)

Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees
Sift or stir flour & cornstarch together - set aside
In a large bowl, beat icing sugar & butter until light & fluffy
Add orange peel & blend well
Stir in flour mixture - mix well
Stir in chocolate chips
Divide dough into 4 equal parts & shape each part into a smooth round ball
On ungreased cookie sheets, press or roll each ball of dough into a 6" circle 1/4" thick
With a long knife, score each circle into 8 wedges.
Leave in place on cookie sheet & prick each wedge about 3 times with a fork
Bake for about 20 mins til the edges are very lightly browned
Cool on cookie sheets 5 mins
Prick again & cut into wedges
Place on wire racks to cool completely

Melt 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 1 tsp oil in microwave, dip edges.

Wordless Wednesday

The beach is SO relaxing!





Mumbo Jumbo Randomness

Geesh I am not doing a very good job at blogging lately!

...Wordless Wednesday Take 2?

Maybe this would have been a better Wordless Wednesday post....as I really do not have any words to describe how this makes me feel.
Casey Anthony has just got away with murder. I cannot even begin to tell you how sad, angry, and SICK this makes me. Who could do this to their own flesh & blood?? She is also going to be a millionaire with the interviews, movie & book but yet there are innocent people sitting in a jail cell. I just cannot wrap my head around it. Where was the jury during the trial? Obviously not anywhere near the court room! Oh well...her judgement day will come!

RIP Sweet Caylee

Wordless Wednesday

I LOVE watermelon!
