This are fantastic. My 11 year old wanted to bake yesterday and she asked if she could experiment a bit. Of course,the answer was yes, so she used the dark chocolate chips I had just picked up. There were some oranges left in the fruit bowl (a total miracle in our house) and I suggested she try some orange in with it. The results were an absolutely intensely flavored cookie – the dark chocolate was complimented by the orange in an absolutely sophitcated synergy of sweet/intense/tangy.
One on a stormy afternoon with a cup of earl grey would be a perfect *me* moment.
