Recipe: Triple Chocolate Orange Cookies

Jump to Comments

As requested:

They’re the cookies on the lower left. The others are gingersnaps (Pilsbury pre-made dough) and Chocolate-Raspberry Almond Cookies (recipe on Nestle chocolate-raspberry chips) .

Triple Chocolate Orange Cookies

• 1 c sugar
• 2/3 c butter, softened
• 1 T orange zest
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 c flour
• 1/3 cocoa
• 1/4 t salt
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1 c chopped pecans
• 1/2 c semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 c bittersweet chocolate chips *

For rolling:

• 1/3 c sugar
• 1 tsp orange zest

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat sugar & butter. Add zest and egg. Mix well. Stir in flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder and baking soda. Mix well. Add chips and pecans and mix. Make 1 1/2″ balls of dough (I recommend a cookie scoop; Target has a nice one at their Dollar Spot right now). Roll balls in the sugar/zest mix. Place on cookie sheet and flatten with fingers, fork or bottom of glass. Bake 9-11 minutes or until set. Cool on wire rack.

* you don’t have to use the bittersweet chips. If you like, use 1 c semisweet chips instead (a 6 oz bag). If you don’t, they’re “double chocolate orange cookies.” The bittersweet adds a layer of different flavor and variety to your cookie.

One medium sized orange will give you enough zest for this recipe.
