I make these with semi-sweet chips and they are divine!

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. :) I only gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because I have had problems with them crumbling. Anyone else have this problem?

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.
