Dark Chocolate Orange Cookie Recipe

At first bite, I thought that this Dark Chocolate Orange Cookie recipe was pretty good. They are sneaky good. I had eaten three before it even registered.

I’m not normally a fan of dark chocolate and yet…I think this great cookie recipe has made me a convert! For a thicker cookie, chill your dough for about ten minutes. For a thinner cookie, use it right away.

Thick, soft cookies are my favorite things. Pairing this Dark Chocolate Orange Cookie recipe with a cup of hot coffee was a great match! I found them at Dulce Dough blog.
