This week I was craving for cookies, for one of my most favorite combinations, chocolate and orange. As usually when it comes to cookies, there is no need for a great amount of ingredients, which is a big plus. Moreover, you will love these chocolate orange cookies, not kidding. They´re a bit harder on the top and amazingly soft in the centre, just the way all cookies should be. There isn´t a lot of orange zest, so it doesn´t cover the taste of chocolate but it really complements it. You don´t have to be afraid to taste just a citrus itself, this is a well balanced combination. Well, enough of praising, let´s get to the recipe. Let me know if you try them out for sure, I recommend them with all my heart.
I really want to thank you for your every vote in Bloger roka competition. Although I didn´t get to TOP 10, I didn´t expect it either after one year of blogging. I was surprised by every vote so really big thanks guys 🙂
