Here is a super quick post to say "I'm still alive, but my brain disagrees".  Waaaay too much work.  Unfortunately this means that I am eating all kinds of packaged sweets and processed foods rather than being able to make my own at home.

| What's better than a crinkle cookie? A stack of crinkle cookies, of course! | 
To remind me that good things are to come in a month or so - when I can finally relax and get in the festive Christmas mood - I'm sharing one of my favourite recipes from the blogosphere.  Hopefully I'll be able to make them again soon!
These chocolate orange crinkle cookies are soft, fudgy, and generally to-die-for.  They are also a brilliant cookie as they don't really need any extra decoration beyond the prescribed icing sugar to look festive.  The original recipe is peppermint based (which is also tasty), but I am in love with my orange version.  Sub-out the peppermint oil for the zest of 1  medium orange, and replace crushed peppermint candies with the equivalent in hard orange candies.  Et voila!

This awesome recipe can be found via 
The Sweet Life.  Thanks for sharing such a wonderful cookie with the blogosphere, Sarah!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Dina :) I've been known to eat a couple (or five...) in one sitting!
DeleteI love that these cookies are both delicious and festive.
