Chocolate Chip Cookies With a Dash of festive Chocolate Orange

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Me and Bubba had lots of fun making these on several occasions over the festive period, they are so easy to whip up and cook quickly meaning you get to eat them even sooner. This was the first time we did any baking together but he really enjoyed mixing it all together and enjoyed even more being able to eat his creations. For the Christmas version we added pretzels to the top to create antlers and used a chocolate orange button as a nose.
You can omit the chocolate orange buttons and just top them with regular chocolate chips or chunks instead but I love the flavour of chocolate orange and Christmas time always reminds me of eating a whole Terry's chocolate orange. This Christmas I had a packet of the exploding candy version, delicious and fun.

So to get back into the swing of things and back to blogging our recipes find below the easy way to recreate this soft, chewy, melty chocolatey cookies at home. Just in time for the January detox :)
