This recipe for Choc Orange Choc Chip Cookies is a wonderful twist on the standard Chocolate Chip Cookie … and they’re the “bee’s knees”. Miss 19 was a bit reluctant to try them at first, as she isn’t a big fan of oranges, but once I coaxed her she loved them … couldn’t get enough of them, in fact! Suitable to freeze, these are great for morning or afternoon tea and kid’s school lunchboxes. Enjoy!
