For our monthly bake at Sweet and Simple Bakes I chose White Chocolate and Orange Cookies! Cookies have not featured too much in our monthly bakes, so this month I decided to address that balance with this cookie recipe. Generally cookies are quick and easy to assemble and this recipe is no exception. I’ve baked these cookies before and they were a roaring success, they didn’t last 24hrs in the cookie jar! These cookies are light, crispy, chewy and full of intense orangey chocolate flavour. I challenge you to make them and have them last more than a day! Please pop over to Sweet and Simple Bakes to view more cookie entries! If you would like to be part of our monthly bakes, we would be delighted to have you join in and bake with us – everyone is welcome! Visit our site for further details about joining.
