Sun & Moon Cookies

2 cups melted butter (1 lb.)
2 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. orange extract
1 tsp. orange zest
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. salt
4 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar (for rolling dough balls)

Add the sugars to the melted butter and mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring well after each.

Add the orange extract, orange zest, baking soda, cream or tartar, and salt; mix well.

Add the flour in increments; mix well.

Chill at least one hour - overnight is OK.

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease cookie sheets.

Roll the dough into 1" balls, then roll in the 1/2 cup of sugar until coated.

Place the dough balls on the cookie sheets and flatten slightly; bake for 10-15 minutes. Cool on cookie sheets for 2 minutes, then remove to wire rack.

When the cookies are completely cool, prepare for dipping by laying out sheets of waxed paper.

Chocolate Dip:

2 cups chocolate chips (12 oz. pkg.)
1 stick butter

Melt the chips and butter and stir well.

Dip the cookies, one at a time, so that half the cookie is covered in chocolate. Place on waxed paper to dry.

Makes about 10 dozen cookies.
