I love the combination of any fruit flavor with chocolate. These are super, unique cookies and they are pretty easy to make. Only makes 3 dozen, so you may want to double the recipe

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg, beaten

1 teaspoon grated orange rind

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2
Combine first 4 ingredients in a large bowl and beat at low speed until smooth and creamy.
3

4

I made these tonight and they were easy and quick but I guess they weren't quite what I thought they would be. If you are expecting an orange flavored "chocolate chip cookie" this isn't the recipe for you. They are more like shortbread cookies with chips. My dbf liked them better than I did so the recipe is just fine they just weren't right for me.

My cookies turned out exactly as the reveiws described. Delicate, subtle, and browned easily on the bottom.These were very much like a short bread cookie...at my house we prefer a more rich cookie. Maybe next time I'll try these with butter instead of shortening. These also would have been great with or without the orange. Thanks for posting...I'll try again and re-reveiw

These were very good. I had the same problem with them browning on the bottom. I don't like my cookies to brown AT ALL; I like them to look just right and to stay soft and chewy. Also, when these baked they didn't spread at all. They just stayed little balls. So I started flattening them a bit before putting them in the oven and I decresed the bake time to about 9 minutes and left them on the cookie sheet a few minutes to set. They were perfect this way, and I think they will stay nice and soft. Delicious! Oh, and I too used the rind of an entire orange and wouldn't recommend using any less. These made 34 cookies using my small cookie scoop.

Apparently I forgot to rate these after I made them, months ago. Sorry! These were very easy to make and were a big hit at the outdoor function that we brought them to. They have a wonderful texture and a subtle orange flavor that really goes well with the chocolate. Thanks for another great recipe, Karen!
