This are fantastic. My 11 year old wanted to bake yesterday and she asked if she could experiment a bit. Of course,the answer was yes, so she used the dark chocolate chips I had just picked up..There were some oranges left in the fruit bowl (a total miracle in our house) and I suggested she try some orange in with it. The results were an absolutely intensely flavored cookie..the dark chocolate was complimented by the orange in an absolutely sophitcated synergy of sweet/intense/tangy.
One on a stormy afternoon with a cup of earl grey would be a perfect *me* moment.
1/2 c butter
1/2 c butter flavor shortening
3/4 c white sugar
3/4 c light brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp mexican vanilla
grated rind from one orange
juice from one orange
2 1/4 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 cups Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350.
Silpat cookie sheets, use parchment, or grease lightly
Cream the butter, shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, orange juice, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition.Combine the dry ingredients and the orange peel and stir in to the creamed mixture. fold in chocolate chips lightly and chill for 20 minutes or so.
Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on baking sheet and bake 8-10 minutes until light golden brown and still soft, but set in the middle. Let cool on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes and then remove to cooling rack or counter. 3-4 dozen cookies.

Gotta tell ya. Your recipes look good. But your photography needs work. Makes your goodies look totally unappetizing.
Hope…
thanks. I think if you will check out some of the newer recipes you will see improvement. If not, well, I guess I am a single talented type of person. I can’t sing worth a flip either.
Thanks for the recipe! made these for xmas and they are a huge hit, delicious. I don’t think I’ll ever make plain chocolate chip cookies again.
I made these cookies and they are FANTASTIC! I am a great cook but my baking is so-so. I married into a family of incredible bakers, so it was nice to bring something that got me kudos at the last family dinner. Easy and incredible flavor, my new favorite!
