Orange Shortbread Cookies with Chocolate Chips
Lesley Renner of Denver, Colorado, writes: "There is a funky little eatery called Bump & Grind Cafe near my office. I go there often to enjoy a latte and one of their shortbread cookies with chocolate chips and a touch of orange — it's called a Miss Emma Peel cookie. Would you ask chef Cliff Trubowitz for the recipe?" This recipe calls for double chocolate chips, which have a deep, rich chocolate flavor because they are made with bittersweet chocolate. Regular semisweet chocolate chips can be substituted.
