Nothing beats a cookie. They’re super simple to make and can be the carrier of a whole host of wonderful flavours.

This recipe uses one of my favourite ingredients. Dark orange chocolate. Even if you aren’t a fan of dark chocolate, this recipe might still be for you as the sweetness of the cookie balances out the bitterness of the dark chocolate.

Hope you enjoy!
