These were awesome, something different. I did add a little bit of water though, my mix seemed a little dry, but after I did, I thought a little bit of orange juice would have been good too.

These are incredible! I love orange, so I couldn't resist making them when I found the recipe. I used the zest of an entire orange and the dough seemed a little dry, so I added the juice too. I don't like too many chips in my cookies so I only used about 3/4 of a bag. I do like chewy/soft cookies, so I baked them for just 10 minutes and they turned out perfectly soft. YUM! Thanks for sharing. Regular (or DARK!) chocolate would be excellent in these too.
