Terry's Chocolate Orange Cookies

Shortbread and chocolate orange -- what could be better.

Makes 20 cookies, can be doubled.

250 ml. butter
125 ml. sugar
500 ml. flour
2.5 tsp. orange peel
1 Terry's Chocolate Orange, separated into segments, cut in half

Preheat oven to 350F.  Beat butter and sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy.   Gradually add flour, beating until well blended after each addition.

Roll dough into 20 balls, approx. 3.5 cm. diameter.  Flatten with palm of hand.  Top each with 1 piece of chocolate, wrap dough around chocolate to completely enclose the chocolate.  Place 5 cm. apart on ungreased cookie sheet.  Flatten slightly.

Bake 20 minutes.  Remove from oven, immediately place 1 of the remaining chocolate pieces on each cookie.  Transfer to wire racks to cool at least 10 minutes before serving. (Chocolate inside will be very hot).
