These easy slice & bake orange crisp cookies drizzled with dark chocolate make a delicious afternoon snack and pair perfectly with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!

Orange crisp cookies on white parchment paper drizzled with dark chocolate

One of my favorite snacks on a crisp fall afternoon is tea with something a little sweet.  And one of my favorite flavor combinations is orange and chocolate; dark chocolate to be specific!  So these orange crisp cookies drizzled with dark chocolate were created to satisfy both of those favorites!!

My grandmother was a big baker, making cakes for our birthdays, and something sweet and delicious for any family dinner.  I remember helping her in the kitchen when I was little; actually learning how to bake before I really learned how to cook.  Now, I cook more often than I bake, as definitely I’m not a trained baker.  However, I do find it really fun to experiment with baking – though there are definitely more “fails” when I’m testing my baking skills!

These cookies are pretty easy to make and you can keep the dough in the refrigerator for a couple of days if you don’t want to bake them all at once.  Though I happen to love the dough, so that’s a bad idea for me as I end up eating half of it!!

Description

These easy slice & bake orange crisp cookies drizzled with dark chocolate make a delicious afternoon snack and pair perfectly with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons European butter, softened
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ teaspoon Nielsen Massey vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon Nielsen Massey orange extract
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 2 oz bittersweet or semisweet chocolate

Instructions

  1. Place flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small mixing bowl.  Using a whisk stir until well mixed. Set aside.
  2. Place butter, sugar, and orange zest in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.  Mix until butter and sugar are creamed together.
  3. Add egg, extracts and orange juice.  Mix until completely combined.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  4. With the stand mixer running, slowly pour in the flour mixture. Continue mixing until a combined.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix again until a soft dough forms.
  5. Divide dough into two parts.  Place each part on a large piece of plastic wrap and form into a log-like shape about 2″ in diameter.  Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and roll back and forth to round the edges.  Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  6. After 2 hours, preheat the oven to 350°F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and slice into ¼″ thick rounds.  Place rounds on baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until slightly browned on the edges and springy in the middle.
  8. Remove cookies from oven and let cool.
  9. While the cookies are cooling place the chocolate in a double boiler over medium-low heat.  Melt the chocolate, stirring constantly.
  10. Using a small spoon drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before eating.

    Wow! Like the others, I also love the combination of orange & chocolate. It is like a combination that will not go wrong! I have not tried using orange extract before and after reading through your recipe, I’m thinking of getting it and giving it a try! Thanks for the share.

    Orange and chocolate taste as much like the holidays as peppermint mocha. Thanks for the Christmas cookie inspiration!
