Cookies: In double boiler, melt semisweet chocolate over hot, not simmering, water.

Set aside to cool to lukewarm. Cream butter in mixing bowl.

Wrap dough in plastic wrap. Chill 30 minutes or until firm.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls, then roll each ball into a thick log.

Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Press dough to 1/4 inch thickness with tines of a fork.

Keep cookies oval in shape.

Bake 8-10 minutes or just until set.

Take care not to overbake. Cool on wire racks.

Dipping chocolates: In small bowl set over a saucepan of hot water, melt white chocolate with 1/4 cup cream.

Stir until smooth.

Leave bowl over water so chocolate stays smooth and melted.

In another bowl, melt semisweet chocolate with remaining 1/4 cup cream over another pan of hot water.

Stir until smooth.

Keep chocolate warm. Dip one end of each cookie in white chocolate and other end in semisweet chocolate.

Place on cooling racks to let chocolate set.

Chicken Marbella

YUMMMMMMMMM best ever for dinner parties. I had lost this recipe and was so glad to find it on your site. I have often used just chicken breasts instead of quarters.
