Orange Chocolate Cookies 橙味巧克力饼 CNY 2016
Just last week when I saw this chocolate cookies recipe shared in one of the Facebook baking groups, I knew I just had to make them soon. So here is my version with grated orange zest. These cookies are not only chocolatey and full zesty orange fragrance, they are also crumbly and melt-in-your-mouth. As Chinese New Year is coming in about 4 weeks’ time which falls on 8th Feb this year, why not add this to your CNY baking list too?

Orange and chocolate are absolutely a dream team! These look so beautiful, Ann.
Hi Ann, this orange chocolate cookies look like great combo, auspicious for CNY too!
Hi Ann, I'm Jaime. I love how these cookies are decorated. I baked them few days ago but I forgot to sieve the icing sugar 🙁 I saw lumps of sugar after i made the dough. could this be the reason why the cookies are not crispy? btw, I bake them for 20 minutes in the oven too
Hello Jaime, These cookies are a little crisp after baked. You can increase the baking powder to 1 tsp and add 1 tbsp almond meal to make the cookies more crispy.Icing sugar is not fresh anymore after keeping for sometime, that's why you need to sieve it every time before use.
Hi….may i know the butter u r mentioning is salted or unsalted? As i am new to baking…thank you
Hi Ting,Most of my cookies are using salted butter unless stated.
Hi Ann,Wow! You are so fast… in the mood now to bake CNY goodies. Very beautiful cookies! The use of orange has very auspicious meaning too :DZoe
