Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Orange and chocolate combine forces! These are a new addition to my Christmas baking this year. I had to chase my son out of them about a dozen times. He just wouldn’t stay out. He normally isn’t a big fan of orange and chocolate but these he couldn’t stay out of. These remind me of the chocolate orange that you can get. You give it a whack to break it into wedges.

Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 cup butter softened
½ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon orange peel
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 ½ cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ package chocolate chunk chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350. With a mixer beat butter and both sugars until light and fluffy. Add the egg and beat again. Now add in the orange peel and the orange juice.

In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking soda and salt. Slowly add this to the butter mixture until it’s all combined. Add the chips and stir. Drop by teaspoons onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden.
