Ingredients

1 stick Unsalted Butter

1 cup Rolled Oats, Finely Chopped But Not Ground To A Powder, In The Food Processor)

1 cup Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Salt

1 whole Egg

1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

1 teaspoon Orange Juice

6 ounces weight Semi-sweet Chocolate

1/4 teaspoon Orange Zest (zest From Half Of A Large

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350F.

Melt butter in a large bowl. Add remaining ingredients into the bowl of butter one at a time, stirring until smooth – everything except the chocolate and orange zest.

Drop by 1/2 teaspoon on cookie sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving 2-3 inches space around each one.

Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are golden brown and lighter in the center. Remove from oven and slide parchment paper onto cooling rack.

Combine the chocolate and the zest in a bowl, and microwave until melted (heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between each interval in order to make sure the chocolate doesn’t scorch).

Allow to cool slightly.

Spread at least 1/2 teaspoon of melted chocolate on the bottoms of half of the cookies. Top each cookie with another, bottom to bottom, and lightly press together.

These delicate cookies are reminiscent of Pepperidge Farm's Brussels cookies. Thin oatmeal wafers sandwich melted orange scented chocolate. Delicious!
