I love chocolate and orange together! These lovely cookies will be going on my Christmas cookie list.
I'm just enjoying my tea when I saw your cookies, and now I want some, but technology doesn't allow us to transfer food through the cables, neither smells…it's so bad.
YUM!! Now I just need to figure out how to add this to my ZipList! (I'm still learning)
These look so good! I made Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache and Orange Cream Buttercream. Your cookies remind me of my CCs.
