After reading of some people's issues with sticky dough, I made sure to make my dough earlier and refrigerate it overnight. I had zero issues with problematic dough, and it was actually kind of hard to get the sugar to stick to the sides of my first log because it was still pretty cold.
I made the second log with some orange extract in it. It would have been nice to have some orange zest to put in it, but I didn't have time to go to the store. I was trying to figure out how to decorate these and DUH! Orange and chocolate. That's not weird is it? Hopefully other people think it tastes good too. I love using my little parchment sheets to do decorations like this. It takes about 5 seconds but looks like it is professionally done.
Ta-dah! I even broke out mi madre's Christmas china!
Here's a secret glimpse of what my mixer looked like after T-giving. Didn't even realize it til this week. Ah the shame.
As always, check out what the other Tuesdays With Dorie bloggers have come up with!

Ahhhh! Chocolate and sugar cookies! Although I can't recall seeing that association today... I believe it must be heavenly and kinda wish I had thought about myself!
Lovely, Megan!
LOVE your chocolate drizzle! So creative and I bet it was delicious with these tasty cookies.
These look great! Love the drizzle. Wish I'd thought of it!
Good luck with your exams!
My favorite presentation technique is to drizzle with chocolate! It never fails! They look great!
