Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies are a surprisingly delicious combination in a cookie that your family and friends just won’t stop raving about! I love orange and chocolate flavors together but they’re not often found together in a cookie… these little guys will keep everyone very happy this winter.  Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies are always a sure way to please a crowd.

Happy New Years Eve!!

Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies are so good you may want to consider making a double batch… this recipe makes about 24 small sized cookies but they’ll be in high demand so a double batch may just be the right amount!
