INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. For the cookies: In an electric
mixer, with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together.
Add the vanilla, cinnamon, and lemon zest. With the mixer on medium,
add the flour, about 1/4 cup at a time. Stop the mixer once or twice
to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat until the dough is smooth
and forms a ball around the paddle. Line a cookie sheet with  parchment
paper. Roll one tablespoon of the dough into a ball and  place onto the
cookie sheet 1-inch apart. Using your fingers, press  down onto the
balls to flatten it. Bake for 20 minutes or until  slightly golden
around the edges. Drizzle cooled cookies with the  melted chocolate.
For the plums: In a saute pan, heat melt the  butter. Stir in the sugar
to dissolve. Add the plums, lemon juice,  and zest. Saute the plums
until they are completely coated with the  sugar, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Flame the Madeira. Reduce 1 to 2 minutes  over high heat. Remove from
heat. Place the ice cream in an  over-sized bowl. Pour the plums over
the ice cream. Position the  cookies so they are coming out from the
ice cream. Garnish with fresh  mint and powdered sugar. This recipe
yields 2 servings.  Comments: The original recipe title as listed is
