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.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over. More about me.
