Dark Chocolate Orange Cookies

Is it a cop-out to be doing a second recipe for orange chocolate cookies? I wouldn't say so, because although I posted about orange chocolate chip cookies already, these dark chocolate orange cookies are a game changer.

I'm sure you've noticed I've been all about the citrus lately, between my latest cookies and my dark chocolate orange brownies. I'll admit, this warmer weather certainly has me in a mood for recipes that have a little more pep in their step. So, I took my original recipe and I converted it to something a little heartier and chocolat-ier! (Is that a word? It is one now.)

NOTES:

– I freshly squeezed an orange for the juice, but you can use ready made orange juice and it works just as well.

– These aren't the prettiest cookies, but I promise... they taste great! ;)
