This week I chose to bake Orange Chunk Cookies, they should have been chip, but my grocery store didn't have white chocolate chips, WHAT?! I know, so I had to substitute a bar of it and chunk it up. That just added to the fun, I don't know why, but food prep makes me happy. The more I can chop, the happier I am. I know, I have issues! So, here we are at week 2, and that means 11 weeks until Christmas now and I don't have the slightest idea of what I will be buying the kids. I asked Abby what she wanted and she said "Joy". I said, "Joy, as in happiness? Are you not happy?" She said, yes, I am happy, but that is what I want. Crazy child!! Maybe I'll get something that has JOY written on it and stick it in her stocking.
On to the cookies, I liked them, the hubby and kids liked them. The hubby was a little concerned of the orange, he doesn't like orange flavored things, but the orange flavor was subtle. It mostly tasted like a white chocolate chip cookie and once you chewed it and swallowed was when you get the hint of orange. So, I would give this cookie a thumbs up!

What a wonderful new cookie flavor!!!
Love the orange flavor combined with the white chocolate..sounds wonderful.
I'm sure they tasted even better with your improversation!
Those sound great - I would probably use regular chocolate instead of white - I've never found a brand that I really like.
What a sweety your daughter is, wanting Joy for Christmas. A sign your doing a pretty darn good job raising her!!! Cookies sound wonderful with a hint of orange.
These sounds wonderful. I love the flavor of orange and have never thought about adding it to a cookie before. Are you accepting people into your 12 weeks of cookies? I just saw this over at Megan's Baking Adventures and am interested.
Wish my kids would ask for things like joy. :)
The cookies look really good and I love orange so the flavor sounds yummy.
I love citrus cookies! These sound great! My kids never knew what they wanted for Christmas. I took that as a sign they were content.
Wow! That really looks yummy! I can imagine the orange chunks now with every bite of the cookie. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Really nice.:)
LOL, that's cute. You'll need to write that down to remember for when she's older.
