  1. These are the best cookies EVER!! The prefect combination of chocolate and orange with a melt in your mouth sugar cookie type texture. The grating of the chocolate, although somewhat time consuming, is worth it since it creates a really pretty flecked look. The slightly orange flavoured sweet glaze that hardens on the cookie adds both visually and taste wise. These are really excellent cookies!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I work at home as an administrative assistant. Our family is very active and very involved in the sport of Triathlon. I absolutely love collecting recipes and trying them out. My husband sometimes complains that he never gets the same meal twice -- there's always something new to try. Low calorie, nutritious, and meatless are dishes I look for. <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSC11-Participant.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/smPACp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
