My three sisters like the combination of chocolate and orange as much as I do, so we all really savor these beautiful cookies. The candied orange peel on top is a special twist. —Ruth Rumple, Rockford, Ohio

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
