***Hey,
This One's a Keeper!- would
make it again. "My son loved these and my husband thought
they were 'good.' They're a basic chocolate cookie with a subtle
orange flavor. They are definitely not rich like truffles though.
They were super easy to make. I was able to get 15 cookies out of
one batch."
