Chocolate Orange Oatmeal Cookies and a Christmas Week Giveaway
We are on day five of Christmas Week and what better way to celebrate than with a batch of Chocolate Orange Oatmeal Cookies? I don’t know firsthand but I’ve heard that Santa LOVES coming down the chimney and finding a plateful of these treats.
This is such a crazy time of the year. Fabulous but crazy and if you are anything like I am, you need a quick and easy recipe that is also one that will have everyone begging for more. It’s nice to offer a cookie that is a tad different. Orange zest perks up the chocolate and the oatmeal. So don’t just sit there. Hurry up and get into the kitchen and bake a batch of Chocolate Orange Oatmeal Cookies because Christmas Week is almost over.
Christmas Week is an annual event. It started in 2012 and is hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic. This year we have over 35 bloggers sharing festive sweet recipes for the event. Plus we all chipped in for a huge Amazon Gift Card Giveaway so be sure to enter!
