3 1/4 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/4 c. softened butter
3/4 c. sugar
1 egg
2 tsp. grated orange rind
1 (6 oz.) pkg. semi-sweet chocolate pieces
2 to 4 tbsp. butter
Chopped nuts or candy sprinkles

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together; set aside. Mix 1 1/4 cups butter, sugar, egg and orange rind until creamy. Stir in flour mixture and blend thoroughly. Press dough through a cookie press or pastry bag, using the star tip, onto an ungreased cookie sheet, making each cookie about 3 inches long and fairly thick. Bake 5 to 8 minutes, until set but not brown. Cool.

Melt chocolate pieces with 2 tablespoons butter. Add more butter if chocolate gets too thick. Dip both ends of cookies into chocolate, then into sprinkles or nuts. Place on waxed paper until set. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
