White Chocolate Orange Cookies


What a great flavor combination that white chocolate and orange makes!  The orange flavor in these cookies is very subtle and not at all overpowering and it goes so well with the chocolate.  These cookies have nice texture that is chewy and soft in the middle.  These were a big hit at my house and did not last long!  I will be making these again soon!
