Top Tips
- To achieve perfectly round cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto your baking sheet. If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon to form the dough into balls.
- Leave enough space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking.
- If you can't get hold of Terry's chocolate oranges, use a mix of milk chocolate, 70% dark chocolate and a few drops of orange extract instead.
- If you're baking multiple trays at once, swap them around in the oven to ensure that the cookies all cook evenly.
🍴 Serving suggestions
Arrange the cookies on a plate alongside other Christmas treats such as puff pastry mince pies and mincemeat crumble slices.
Serve the cookies with ice cream, like vanilla or orange sorbet, for a decadent dessert.
Enjoy a cookie alongside a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a cold winter day.
📖 Variations
- Use Terry's white chocolate orange segments or a mixture of dark, milk, and white.
- Stir dried cranberries into the dough for a festive flavour twist.
- Make an orange-flavoured glaze to drizzle over the baked cookies.
- Add a handful of chopped pecans for a nutty crunch.
🥡 Storage
Store - the chocolate orange cookies can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container or cake tin for 3-4 days.
Freeze - the cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months.
