Chocolate Orange Cookies

It's a cool July morning -- about 57º when I got up just after five.  A perfect morning to try out a Christmas cookie recipe to kick off Christmas in July!  I found this recipe for Chocolate Orange Cookies on Pinterest recently, and immediately pinned it to my Christmas Cookie Exchange! board.

The flavors of chocolate and orange together are so festive!  They bring to mind those nifty chocolate oranges that are to be unwrapped and eaten a wedge at a time.  And these yummy chocolate dipped orange smiles that I make each Christmas and that are so delightful on cookie trays.

So if it's cool where you are this morning, why not step into the kitchen and try out a new recipe?  It's warming up fast here, so I probably won't bake, but I just might dip some candy orange slices in chocolate to take to Christmas Club at the library!

    1. I haven't had a chance to try these yet, Luludou, but will be sure and post about how I liked them when I do. Often, I can tell if a cookie recipe will be a keeper or not just by reading the recipe. This looks like a good one!
