An easy DIY recipe tutorial for Fudge and Orange Cookies. Below is the cookie recipe that is great for holiday cookie plates!
Have you ever tried the flavor combination of orange and chocolate? It is amazing and one of my very favorites!
Lately, I have been craving this delightful combination but didn't have any tried and true recipes. I went on a search and found this cookie recipe and decided to give it a try.
These sandwich cookies were a huge hit! We all loved them and now the recipe is in our personal recipe box so it will always be on hand when we are craving chocolate and orange.

Cookie:
- ¾ cup butter (no substitutes), softened
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 egg

- 2 teaspoons grated orange peel
- 1 ½ teaspoons orange extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour

Topping:

- ¾ cup sugar
- ⅓ cup evaporated milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
How to Bake the Cookies:
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in the egg, egg yolks, orange peel and extract. Combine the flour, ginger and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture.
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 300 degrees F for 21-23 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool.
Here is the cookie batter before it is baked.
While they are cooling. You can see the mounds of cookie batter flatten nicely while baking.
How to Make the Fudge:
In a saucepan, combine the marshmallow creme, sugar, milk, butter, and salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat; boil for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Add chocolate chips and vanilla; stir until chips are melted.
Spread over tops of cookies, and top with another cookie.
Don't they look good?!
These truly are a yummy cookie.
Keep the cookeis in an airtight container with a piece of bread so they don't dry out.

Our Baking Essential List:
- For baking casseroles, we use Glass Baking Dishes. I especially like the dishes with lids so leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
- Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
- A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
- This Knife Set will also become your favorite! They cut beautifully, and with the hollow design of the knife, food doesn't stick to the blade.
