A Baker’s Dozen

Orange and White Chocolate-A Great Combination

Need a quick cookie in a pinch?  These white chocolate orange cookies celebrate citrus in a big way and are a snap to prepare that make a quick baker’s dozen.  A dozen to share, and one for you!

These orange jewels are made with fresh orange zest and pack a punch of wonderful citrus flavor that goes so well with the creamy white chocolate chips and cream cheese in the batter.

I loved this recipe so much that I included them on my gourmet cookie platter.  The flavors are just amazing and once they hit your mouth it’s just an explosion of flavor.

Also, it makes for an attractive cookie as you can see the orange zest baked right into the cookie along with the white chocolate chips.  Makes for a colorful cookie and might be hard to eat just one.

I remember there use to be a cookie called melting moments, hmmm I think this cookie definitely qualifies for that title.

I bet this cookie will be one of your favorites as it has become one of my family’s top 5 cookies!
