Chocolate Orange Chip Cookies



Orange and chocolate deserve to be married.  They go together like butter and bread or peanut butter and jelly or spaghetti and meatballs.  They belong to each other.  That is why, when I saw the following recipe, I knew it would work and be appreciated.  I am sending these to the troops with some other goodies and I am confident in this recipe.

I had to change it because of the hour.  I had a few minutes to get these made and baked and I rushed my  way through it skipping ingredients and steps.  Despite that, I managed to make a really good cookie.  For the correct recipe, drop by Jill's at Dulce Dough. 

Chocolate-Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

Ingredients :

2/3 cup margarine, softened
1 egg
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 pkg. (10 oz.) dark chocolate chips

Method:

Cream together 1 cup sugar and margarine.  Add the egg and mix well.

In a separate bowl combine the flour, cocoa, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.

Gradually stir in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Using a teaspoon cookie scoop, make balls and place on parchment paper on 2 cookie sheets. Do not press them down.

Bake in a 350°F oven for 9  minutes or until set; cool slightly and then remove from cookie sheet.  Cool on a rack and then enjoy every single bite.

Thai Chicken San Choy Bau

Image
It says, "thai" so I have to like the Thai Chicken San Choy Bau that we are making this week in our Donna Hay Wednesday group.  It was a bit spicy and the chopped chicken was a nice change of pace. Kayte selected this recipe from On the Shelf on page 124.   I tried it with the greens and it was very good and then I put it on spaghetti and it was spectacular.  My toddler granddaughter even liked it.  Must have been the hot sauce. I used romaine for the greens and I subbed in red pepper and added some Sirracha to spice it up to make up for the real chilis. Do check out the other cooks' dishes at our   Wednesday with Donna Hay site.

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine.

Brussels sprouts are low in calories and offer protein, vitamins and minerals to help build a healthy human. My first issue with brussels sprouts is that it took me years to spell it correctly. Each time, it came up, in writing, and I admit, that was not too often, I would stare into space asking myself does brussel get an S, at the end or is it sprout that gets the S. For some reason, I could not remember that both end with that S. I am happy to tell you, I overcame thi...

Another week, another vegetable for our Power Food group, a bunch of women who strive for healthy eating with the most delicious dishes. Each blog is inspiration . Each week, we choose a recipe based on the power food which comes from the book, Power Foods, 150 delicious recipes with the 38 healthiest ingredients from the editors of Whole Living magazine. That week, we concentrated on carrots. I like to check out our vegetable, not only for health benefits, but also for the names of their sisters. Carrots are related to parsnips, fennel, parsley, anise, caraway, cumin and dill. I didn't have a clue about many of these. I, have never seen carrots of other colors or at least, if I had, I didn't know, they were carrots. I am going to a good produce store, looking for purple or red carrots, to start my search. It is fun, shopping when purposely looking for new vegetables. I have definitely expanded my horizons. When, I was thinking about what to make with carrots, I ...
