The lovely and very talented Meredith from Like Merchant Ships has graciously offered to do a guest post for our Sweets For The Season series. Here it is:
Orange Chocolate Checker Cookies
Ingredients:
2 sticks butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla
2-1/2 cups flour
2 tsp finely shredded orange zest
2 oz unsweetened chocolate, melted*

If you crave Terry’s Chocolate Oranges at Christmas, you’ll love this cheaper, slice-and-bake alternative. Crispy citrus meets fudgy chocolate, all in one bite.
