Orange Slice

 Cookies

– 2 cups powdered sugar – 1 cup butter 2 cubes, softened – .15 oz orange drink mix Kool-Aid – 1 egg – 2 ½ cups flour – ½ tsp salt – 1 tsp cream of tartar – ¼ cup orange sugar sprinkles – 1 cup chocolate dipping/coating wafers

In a large mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, softened butter, dry orange drink mix and the egg.

Mix until smooth. Then, stir in the flour, salt and cream of tartar until combined.

Proceed to divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a ball in the orange sugar sprinkles until coated, pressing into dough if needed. Chill the balls of dough for 20 minutes in the refrigerator on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Start preheating the oven to 350 degrees F. Pull the cookie dough from the fridge and begin to slice each ball into 8 wedges. Place the wedges bake on the parchment lined baking sheet. Proceed to bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes. Cool cookies completely before dipping in the chocolate.

Start melting the dipping chocolate in a glass bowl for 1 minute in the microwave. Then, dip half of each cookie in melting chocolate and place on parchment paper cool to cool and set for about 15 minutes.
