8 tb Butter (1 stick)soft
1/2 c Light Brown Sugar
2 tb Orange Peel Grated
1/4 ts Salt
1 Egg
1 oz Semisweet Chocolate,very
Finely chopped
1 3/4 c Flour
Glaze:
1 1/2 c Powdered sugar
2 tb Orange Juice
4 tb Lemon Juice

Cream butter, sugar, orange peel, and salt in the
mixer at high speed for 1 to 2 minutes, untill light
and fluffy. Add the egg and beat 1 minute more at
medium speed. Add the chocolate and the flour and beat
at low speed just enough to combine. Divide the dough,
flatten each half into a 6-inch circle, wrap in
plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or, better
yet, overnight. When ready to proceed, preheat oven to
375 F. Roll out each circle of dough, one at a time,
between sheets of lightly flowered waxed paper until
scant 1/4 inch thick, sprinkle with flour once during
rolling. Carefully pel off the top piece of paper and,
using 2 1/2 inch round cutters, cut the dough-still on
the bottom sheet of wax paper- into rounds but do not
lift from paper. Slide the paper of dough on a
cookiesheet and set in the freezer for 5 minutes. Than
use small spatula to remove the cookies and space 1
inch apart on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake the
cookies in the middle of the oven for 8-10 minutes, or
until lightly browned on the edges. Transfer at once
to wire racks. For the glaze: whisk the powdered sugar
with the juices until smooth. Using pasrty brush,
brush the glaze on the still warm cookies. As soon as
glaze is hard you can store them with waxpaper between
the layers in airtight containers.

This spinach and yogurt dish is Persian in origin, The yogurt is redolent
with both musky and sweet spices complementing the slightly tart taste of
the spinach. Borani Esfanah is enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or dip
to spread on bread. Though untraditional, the hot pepper flavoring adds
zip. Accompany with French bread, or pita; or, for a more tactile
experience, tear off pieces of warm, soft flour tortillas and scoop up the
savory mixture.
