Dark Chocolate Orange Cookies – my favorite cookies of late! Soft yet chewy. The orange-chocolate combo is irresistible!

DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE COOKIES

I had to make these cookies three times before they were ready to be on my blog. I kept running out of cookies because my kids keep sneaking in to grab one and run for it! It was a challenge but I think I made it. 🙂 And honestly, I don’t blame them. These cookies are so good! My favorite of late, actually. The chewy cookies filled with chunks of dark chocolate and orange zest and fantastic! This combo is so good in any dessert form. My Dark Chocolate Orange Truffles are fantastic too!

HOW TO MAKE DARK CHOCOLATE ORANGE COOKIES?

• In a large mixing bowl, beat butter for 30 seconds until creamy. Add both sugars and beat for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and mix until incorporated.
• In another large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, soda, salt and cornstarch.
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until almost incorporated. Add zest and chocolate and mix until the flour is well mixed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Scoop the dough into 1,5 Tbsp size mounds onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
• If the cookies spread too much, chill the dough for 1 hour to 24 hours.
• Bake 10 to 11 minutes.

CHILLING THE DOUGH:

Chilling the dough is not necessary. I made one batch with freshly made dough and the cookies were puffy, soft and chewy. Perfect! I chilled the rest of the dough and baked it the following day. Still puffed up and chewy cookies, yet the edges were slightly more crunchy. I placed a few chocolate pieces on top of the cookie dough mounds for this effect.
