3 cup Flour
1 teaspoon Baking powder
One half teaspoon Salt
1 cup Butter or margarine;
softened
1 One half cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tablespoon Orange peel; grated
1 One half teaspoon Vanilla extract
1 ounce Unsweetened chocolate;
melted and cooled

1. On waxed paper, sift together flour, baking powder and salt; set aside.

2. In small bowl with electric mixer at medium speed, beat butter and sugar
until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, orange peel and vanilla. Blend in
flour mixture on low speed.

3. Remove half the dough; set aside. Add melted chocolate to dough in bowl;

Freeze several hours or overnight.

6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

7. Slice cookies to 1/4inch thickness; place 1 inch apart on ungreased
cookie sheets.
