Orange Chocolate Cookies

Still had two oranges in the fridge so i was itching to make more orangy stuff. Saw this really interesting mix of both orange and chocolate and immediately wanted to try it. Turned out well but it lacked that chocolatey taste. Must add more chocolate to the mix next time. Wrapped up a bag for the ladies in the church office.
