My favorite Christmas cookie recipe when I lived in Germany was this one for Orange and Chocolate Crispy Cookies. Grated, not melted, chocolate made them speckled, but not like true chocolate chip cookies. Orange zest in the dough and a smooth orange glaze married two classic tastes together. Absolutely delicious on the cookie tray.

Makes 5 dozen cookies
