INSTRUCTIONS

Hello, Chocolate Lovers!  The Cook & Kitchen Staff are celebrating
Valentine's Day by offering  you fourteen of our most delicious
chocolate-coated, cocoa-concocted  recipes from our Chocolate Lover's
Collection.  There are several chocolate and fruit combinations that
thoroughly  stimulate the palate. Chocolate and raspberries can set
your mouth  watering at a glance. Chocolate-dipped strawberries, wow
... The  Kitchen Staff is getting hungry. But few Americans fancy the
flavor  of chocolate and oranges. We're happy to inform you that this
European favorite is fantastic.  Try this recipe tonight and enjoy the
flavor of oranges and chocolate  mingled in a simple little cookie.
Serve them with a glass of milk and  watch the your cookie eaters' eyes
glaze over as they savor a decadent  little sampling of this
oh-so-perfect fruit and chocolate combination.  Pre-heat oven to 350-F
degrees.  In a mixing bowl, cream together vegetable shortening, cream
cheese,  and both sugars. Blend with an electric mixer until creamy,
about 3  minutes. Add egg, orange zest, and both extracts, then blend
well.  In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and
salt. Add  the dry ingredients, about half at a time, to the creamed
mixture.  Blend well to thoroughly combine all ingredients.  Stir in
chocolate chips and pecans, if desired. Drop by the  teaspoonful about
2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. If  desired, lightly
sprinkle cookies with finely ground pecans or  granulated sugar. Bake
for about 10 minutes on the center rack of the  oven.  Remove to wire
racks to cool. Store in an airtight container for up  to 10 days, or
freeze for up to 1 month.  Posted to dailyrecipe@recipe-a-day.com by
