Zesty Orange Cookie Cups

Zesty Orange Cookie Cups are just the right size to serve with tea.

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened½ cup granulated sugar2 cups all-purpose flour2 cups (12-ounce package) white chocolate morsels2 large eggs1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk½ to ¾ teaspoon orange extract1 tablespoon grated orange peel (1 medium orange)Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 48 mini-muffin cups.Beat butter and sugar in medium mixer bowl until creamy. Add flour; beat until mixture is evenly moist, crumbly and can be formed into balls. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Press each ball onto bottom and up side of prepared muffin cups to form wells. Place 5 morsels in each cup.Beat eggs in medium bowl with wire whisk. Stir in sweetened condensed milk and orange extract. Spoon almost a measuring tablespoon of mixture into each muffin cup, filling about C\v full.Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until centers are puffed and edges are just beginning to brown. Upon removing from oven, gently run knife around each cup. While still warm, top each cup with 8 to 10 morsels (they will soften and retain their shape). Cool completely in pans on wire racks. With tip of knife, remove cookie cups from muffin pans. Top with grated orange peel just before serving. Store in covered container in refrigerator.

Tip: Love lemon but not crazy about orange? Simply substitute lemon extract for the orange extract and use grated lemon peel (2 lemons needed).
