Happy 1st of December!

To kick off the #adventbaking journey I’ve brought you these Chocolate Orange Cookies. The soft cookies are packed full of festive flavour thanks to the dark chocolate chunks and homemade orange syrup! These went so fast in my house and hope they do in yours!

INGREDIENTS

200g Plain Flour

200g Butter

1 Egg

50g Cocoa Powder

100g Chocolate Chunks

2 Tablespoons Orange Syrup (if you don’t have orange syrup you could substitute for 2 teaspoons of orange extract)

150g Sugar

METHOD

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Place the plain flour, butter, egg, cocoa powder and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Beat together until it forms a dough.

Add in the orange syrup and chocolate chunks, mix them into the dough.

Take approximately a tablespoon of the mixture, roll into a ball and place onto a pre lined baking sheet.

Press down on each ball slightly. Then place the baking sheet into the oven for approximately 12 minutes.

Take the cookies out of the oven and leave them on the tray to cool slightly, before transferring to a cooling rack.

Enjoy!
