Chocolate Orange Cookies
Ingredients
- 187 g plain/all-purpose flour
- 50 g cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons cornflour/cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 115 g unsalted butter, melted
- 150 g light brown sugar
- 50 g caster or granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 large orange
- 90 g chocolate chips
- 1 Terry’s Chocolate Orange, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C Fan/350°F/Gas 4. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, cornflour, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, and caster sugar until combined.
- Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest, and whisk until smooth and combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the chocolate chips and chopped Terry’s Chocolate Orange pieces.
- Roll the dough into balls, approximately 56g each, or use a medium cookie scoop. Place onto the prepared baking tray, leaving enough space between each one for spreading.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centres are still slightly soft. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Leave to cool on the baking tray for 5–10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I really enjoyed these. I’m allergic to oranges so I made them with lemon zest and regular chocolate instead of Terry’s. They have a nice soft, melt in your mouth texture.
Marsha, I plan to make your recipe for Chocolate Orange Cookies this week, as well. I visited several grocery stores, and the closest thing I was able to come up with instead of Terry’s Chocolate Orange was Lindt’s Intense Orange Dark Chocolate bar (w/orange and almond slivers). The cookies won’t be quite as pretty as yours, but they should taste good I think!!
I’m sure the Lindt chocolate bar will be delicious in these! Let me know how they turn out 🙂
