Chocolate-Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies
Photos and recipe by Sweet Treats and More.
It’s
a chocolate cookie infused with fresh orange zest, a splash of orange
juice, rolled into a zesty orange-sugar coating. You get bursts of
orange flavor with every bite.
And loads of dark chocolate chips too. Lately, I’m really loving dark chocolate.
Chocolate meets orange meets fudgy meets zesty meets best. cookie. ever. Definitely a new favorite.
So Santa baby, please stuff my stalking with a dozen of these this year. Thankyouverymuch.
