Terry's Chocolate Orange Cookies consist of a orange chocolate cookie base full of chocolate chips and chopped chocolate orange. Each cookie is topped with a chocolate orange slice. The recipe is easy to do and makes the perfect cookie for the holiday season.
I don't know about you but my favourite treat to find in my stocking on Christmas morning is a Terry's Chocolate Orange. Not only is it delicious but also so nostalgic and reminds me of my childhood.
Why You'll Love Them
Amazing flavour. The orange and chocolate flavours go perfectly together, make a delicious cookie!
Perfect for holiday baking. These cookies are great for holiday parties and cookie exchanges.
Chewy texture. These cookies have a chewy, almost fudgy like texture.
How to Make These Cookies
Start by preheating your oven to 350 F and line two baking pans with parchment paper.
Unwrap your Terry's Chocolate Orange and set 13 slices aside. Chop up the remaining slices and set aside as well.
In a medium sized bowl whisk flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking soda together. Set aside.
In a large bowl or stand mixer with the paddle attachment cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. This usually takes 4 minutes. Add in egg, egg yolk, orange zest, and vanilla extract and mix till combined.
Add the flour mixture in and mix till just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped chocolate orange slices.
Scoop 3 tbsp worth of the cookie dough and shape into a ball, I like to use a large cookie/ice cream scoop. Place cookie dough balls 2 inches apart from each other on the baking sheet.
Bake for 10 minutes or until edges are set. The middle might still look a little soft but cookie will stiffen up after cooling.
Once cookies are removed from the oven top with the set aside Terry's chocolate orange slices. Press the slices on top of each cookie and slightly press it down. Let cookies cool on the pan till they reach room temperature.
STORING THE COOKIES
These cookies should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature. The cookies keep well up to four days.
HOW TO GET PERFECTLY ROUND COOKIES
As soon as the baked cookies are pulled from the oven place a round cookie cutter (a little bit large than the cookies) around the cookies and gently swirl it around. This will give your cookie a round shape. If you don’t have a cookie cutter you can use a glass or a jar lid.
CAN I MAKE THE COOKIES SMALLER?
Yes, you can the cookies smaller. Instead scoop 1.5 tbsp worth of dough and bake for 8-9 minutes. You will have to cut the chocolate orange slices in half to get them to fit on the cookies.

Needs more flour. The cookies spread across the whole tray

I'm sorry that the recipe did not work for you. I've not had this problem myself. It could be that your butter was too hot or was not creamed enough with the sugar.

These are SO good! I’m not a huge chocolate fan, but every year I have a slice or two of a Terry’s chocolate orange. So when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it (my sister LOVES chocolate oranges, so I knew they’d get eaten even if I didn’t love them). This is probably my favourite cookie recipe I’ve made in a year. These cookies are so chewy and soft in the centre, and the orange flavor is just a nice pop. I left off the chocolate orange slice from the top, but replaced the chocolate chips with more chopped chocolate orange instead. And then I doubled the orange zest. Obsessed, definitely making again!

Love this! Thank you for trying my recipe. Happy you liked them!

Hi! I just saw this recipe and so eager to try it. Is there any way I can get the butter and flour measurements in grams though?
Jessie M
Sorry, I personally only use cups to bake. I'm not familiar with using grams.

Just made them and they are delicious! Taste exactly like a chocolate orange! Struggled a bit with shaping but doesn’t matter in the end(:
