CHOCOLATE CHIPS ORANGE COOKIES
Chocolate and orange are always a great combination to prepare a dessert, cookies, cakes, and more. In fact, chocolate and orange flavor are my favorite flavors when making or buying cookies. So, today I decided to prepare these orange chocolate chip cookie recipes by using fresh orange and dark chocolate. Furthermore, this is also a delicious recipe to enjoy for breakfast, snacks, and picnics, or you can even take them in a lunch box and enjoy them at work or school.
Additionally, you will be surprised by how easy, simple, and quick to make these orange chocolate chip cookies are. Moreover, you can around 30 cookies with the quantities used in this recipe.
COOKIES FLAVORING IDEAS
For the purpose of this recipe I used fresh orange as I love the taste of orange flavor, however, you can replace this ingredient with other options; for example, orange extract. Moreover, you can also use another fresh fruit citrus if you don’t like or prefer not to make orange-flavored cookies.
FLAVORING INGREDIENTS
- Vanilla extract.
- Lemon juice.
- Lemon zest.
- Cinnamon.
- Desiccated coconut.
COOKIES TIPS:
- Ingredients: (flour) I love using self-raising flour when baking; however, you can replace this ingredient with all-purpose flour. When using purpose flour remember to add baking powder, powder baking soda, and salt. Sugar: nowadays you have many options to choose from when using sugar; for example granulated sugar, light brown sugar, coconut sugar, demerara sugar, brown sugar, etc. So you can select the sugar that you think is best for your cookie dough. Butter: I used vegan butter that was softer than regular butter so I could mix it with the sugar straight away, the same should happen if you use margarine. If the type of butter you use is not soft when removing it from the fridge, place it in the bowl at room temperature for a few minutes until it gets softer, then add the sugar and mix them together. Chocolate: this recipe goes really well with dark chocolate chips that are semi-sweet and also it’s a great alternative to milk chocolate. If you don’t have these chocolate chips, no worries. You can use a vegan chocolate bar of your choice and cut them into small chunks.
- Baking: although I use a baking sheet with parchment paper, you can use a baking mat or cookie sheet too. Moreover, if you prefer not to use these options, you can also spread some vegan butter or margarine on the baking tray and sprinkle some flour.
- Storage: if you are preparing this cookie recipe in advance you can store them in an airtight container to keep them nice and fresh. Another option is to keep them in a freezer bag which is also really easy to carry with you.
