Orange Cappuccino Drops

Cookies
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup margarine or butter, softened
2/3 cup dairy sour cream
½ cup strong coffee
3 oz. (3 squares) unsweetened chocolate, melted, cooled
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups Pillsbury’s Best All Purpose or Unbleached Flour
½ teaspoon baking soda

Frosting
2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
1 ½ teaspoons grated orange peel
2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Heat oven to 375º F. In large bowl, beat brown sugar and ½ cup margarine until light and fluffy. Add sour cream, coffee, chocolate, egg and vanilla; blend well. Lightly spoon flour into measuring cup; level off. Stir in flour and baking soda; mix well. (Cookie dough will be very soft.) Drop dough by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake at 375° F for 5 to 7 minutes or until set. Immediately remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.

In small bowl, combine all frosting ingredients, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Frost cooled cookies. Let stand until set. 5 dozen cookies.
