Sourdough Chocolate Orange Cookies
These Sourdough Chocolate Orange Cookies are irresistibly soft and chewy, filled with melty chocolate chips and bright orange in every bite. Topped with a Terry’s Chocolate Orange slice, they deliver indulgent Christmas cookie flavor.
Servings: 17 cookies
Ingredients
- 300 grams sugar 1½ cup
- 9 grams orange zest 1 Tablespoon
- 170 grams butter softened, ¾ cup

Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or large bowl, add the sugar and orange zest. Rub the orange zest and sugar together to help release the oils in the zest. Add in the softened butter and beat together until light and fluffy with the paddle attachment or hand beaters.300 grams sugar, 9 grams orange zest , 170 grams butter

- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, stack two scoops of dough on top of each other to form a tall cookie. Or you can use a single scoop using a 4-tablespoon cookie scoop.
- Bake 6-9 on a lined pan in a preheated 350°F oven for 13-15 minutes or until lightly browned on the sides and the tops have lost their sheen. If you do 2 trays of cookies at once, be sure to rotate the pans halfway through the baking time. Top with a slice of Terry’s Orange Chocolate.1 Terry’s chocolate orange
Notes
- Right after you pull the cookies from the oven, use a large mason jar lid or a small round bowl to “scoot” them into shape. Place it over each cookie and gently swirl in a circular motion until the edges are perfectly round.
- I highly recommend using the gram measurements to ensure precise baking and consistent results.
- For smaller cookies, you can do just one 2-tablespoon scoop and reduce the baking time.
- Add the cookies to a cooling rack to cool so that they do not over-bake on the cookie sheet.
