These are amazing! My parents loved them. I did what some other users did, when the dough got a bit too hard I softened it with a bit of orange juice. I also brushed the remaining orange juice over them when they were done. It made the orange flavor more obvious and kept them soft for days. Way better than your average chocolate chip cookie.

these are perfection. I added the juice of 1 orange and an extra 1/4c. of flour (my mom says it makes drop cookies rise more and I've got to listen to mom!) in addition to some vanilla and orange extract. I also used milk chocolate chips and pecans. I usually wait for feedback from my family and friends before I rate recipes but they are 5-star cookie, no doubt. if you like chocolate and citrus, make these tonight! thanks so much for the recipe.

These went over really well at my club meeting and then at my husband's work (although one of my husband's co-workers said they were just awful - after the 5th one he started to feel sick! ha ha!!!). I omitted the walnuts (don't like nuts in cookies) and I substituted orange extract for the peel/zest. They were a nice change and not dry at all. :)

Not a hit with my little son, unfotunately, but that's all right - it leaves more for me! I ended up using a touch more butter than the recipe originally calls for and the juice of half an orange, as the dough was a little crumby for my taste. They turned out great, though!

my batch turned out great but cookies hardened dramatically. Don't know what would fix that.

This is one of my favorite cookie recipes. I have had this exact recipe for quite some time now, and everyone loves it. The only changes that I make in my recipe are as follows: Instead of orange zest I used grated orange peel (bought in a jar like regular spices). I use 2-3 teaspoons instead of just one. The orange flavor is quite a treat. I also use a whole 12-ounce package of white chocolate chips. As with all my cookies that I bake, I like them soft. To do this I usually take 45-60 seconds off of the bake time and let them cool on racks. This allows the cookies to harden, but not too hard. They are still soft enough to seem fresh from the oven.

Excellent. I zested a whole orange and ended up with more than the recipe called for, but went ahead and threw it in. I doubled the recipe but left out the nuts and left the amount of chips as-is. Other than that, I didn't make any changes and everything turned out perfectly. Curiously for me, my cookies did spread -- quite a bit -- but stayed soft as long as I pulled them out just as the edges were starting to brown. A rather grown-up cookie, this one made people roll their eyes back into their head!

I love this recipe! I've actually made it twice now. Both times I had a little trouble with the consistency. I ended up adding only 2 cups of flour, and even still, it was pretty dry. So, I added the juice from the orange that I had zested which I would HIGHLY recommend, because it makes the orange flavor just a little stronger, and the dough a better consistency. I also used dark chocolate chips instead of white, and I'm a huge pecan fan, so I substituted the walnuts for pecans. Defiantly a new fave. Oh ya, under bake them just a little so that they come out chewy :)

What a fantastic recipe/combination of flavors! I added orange extract, left out the nuts, and added both white and milk chocolate chips to the batter. YUM! NOTE--I was pressed for time, and made these into cookie bars, instead. I used a 9" x 10" rectangular pan, baked for 30 min and they came out wonderfully. Thanks for a great recipe!!

I made these last night because my husband loves anything orange flavored. The taste was really good, but the consistency was a bit dry for my taste. I only used 2 cups of flour, added a little vanilla for taste (since I was a bit short on brown sugar) and added 1/4 tsp orage extract. I also only used 1 1/4 c w.choc. chips since that was all that was left in the bag and I could not see how you could use any more - there were about 20 chips per cookie! I would love to figure out how to make this cookie a bit moister.
