Chocolate Orange Cookies
Everyone loves fresh cookies and these chocolate orange ones were requested by the children in my after school club. They are so delicious that you will want to make a couple of batches. The cookie dough can be frozen. When you want a fresh cookie cut some slices, pop on a tray to bake for 10 minutes and they are ready!

Tia's tip
​
We put the chocolate buttons in a bag and hit them with a rolling pin to make the chunks a bit smaller
What do we do?
​
-
If you are going to cook the cookies straight away put the oven on 190C
-
Put the butter and sugar in the bowl and mix together until it goes pale in colour
-
Add the egg and mix well
-
Zest the orange using a grater and add to the mixture with the orange juice or add the orange extract now
-
Stir in the flour and pinch of salt
-
If you are cooking the cookies now spoon them onto a baking sheet that has baking parchment on. You can flatten them down a little with a fork. Put in the oven and they will be ready in 10-12 minutes
-
If you are freezing them for later spoon all of the cookie dough onto two sheets of clingfilm. Roll around the cookie dough and tighten the ends to roll the dough into a sausage.
-
Freeze straight away
To cook later
-
Take the cookie dough from the freezer and leave at room temperature for 10 minutes.
-
Unwrap and cut slices 1cm thick. Place on the baking parchment on the baking sheet and cook for 10-12 minutes. You can re-freeze the rest of the dough if you only want to cook a few cookies at a time.
Serve and enjoy!
