Double Chocolate Orange Cookies

A few days ago my new blog friend Flavia over at Flavia’s Flavors posted an Orange Chocolate Chunk Cake, as soon as I saw I knew I had to make it.  Really, orange and chocolate, they make a great couple but I haven’t gotten around to it.  I will, I’m afraid of being alone with this cake, afraid of eating the entire thing and we all know that can not happen.

I’m waiting for my husband to go back to work so he can take it with him, he works four days on and four days off, so he needs to go back to work and soon.  I will take giant small slice and he can take the rest, my butt doesn’t need it.  While I wait for him to go back to work I decided to cure my craving for the chocolate/orange combo and make cookies. I’m more of a cake person, I like cookies but prefer a slice of cake.

My kids wanted to do play around with “food styling”. So who am I to say no. Here’s what they came up with. We might have a couple food bloggers in our future.

Ingredients
1 stick of butter (soften)
1 cup of sugar
1 egg
3 tsp orange zest
3 tsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375. Cream butter and sugar. Add the egg, orange zest, orange juice and vanilla extract.
2. Sift dry ingredients. Stir dry ingredients and chips into butter and sugar.
3. Using a tablespoon measure or cookie scoop. Scoop dough and place on baking sheet. Using your fingers flatten slightly.
4. Bake 8-10 minutes, remove from oven and cool.
