The wrong type of orange

What to do when you accidentally buy seville oranges instead of clementines? You don’t eat them – its like eating a lemon!
You can make marmalade…except we don’t eat marmalade much. Or you can make Orange Chocolate Chip cookies!

Orange Chocolate Chip

Simple to do – add the juice and grated rind of one seville orange to your favorite chocolate chip recipe.

Or you can use this recipe:

  • 3oz of butter
  • 6oz of sugar
  • 1 egg (beaten)
  • 6oz of self raising  flour ( add 1tsp of baking powder if using plane)
  • pinch of salt
  • 2oz of roasted hazelnut pieces
  • 2oz of chocolate chopped into small pieces ( green and blacks maya gold works well)
  • Grated rind + juice of one seville orange

Cream butter and sugar together, add the egg / orange and beat well. Now mix in the flour/ nuts /chocolate  which should end up with a very stiff mixture. Place spoonfuls onto two baking trays as far apart as possible – this should make about 20 cookies. They are going to spread out and probably merge together when cooked. Bake in the oven at 180 C for 12- 15 minutes. Leave to cool for a few minutes before taking off the baking tray – if the cookies have merged then cut between them with a knife before they cool.
