Questions & Replies

  1. Okay, what type of chocolate are we supposed to use? unsweetened baking chocolate? semi-sweet chocolate chips or something similar? a galaxy bar chopped up?

  1. Once I got past measuring everything in grams, this recipe was easy to make. I used semi-sweet chocolate and I probably should have used regular sweet chocolate. I also added 2 teaspoons of frozen orange juice concentrate, based on the past reviewer's note. You can taste the chocolate and the orange flavors. These were good cookies. I will be making them again.
     
  2. If I had one day left to live, I'd bake these and eat these with a glass of cold milk. VERY soft and melt-in-your-mouth, even though there wasn't much marmalade flavour. I might increase that next time - and there will DEFINITELY be a next time!!!! Thanks for the most delicious cookie recipe I've ever made!!!!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Not much to tell! I'm a South African living in London, mother of four rangingfrom 25 to 9. I am desperately trying to get my children's stories published - anyone out there interested? Until my ship sails in, I cook, eat everything and anything, and then diet like mad. I love experimenting with new recipes and I absolutely hate spoilt kids who visit and say? "what is THIS?" and push it away without trying. My favourite cookbook is Mrs Beeton's family cookbook. 1994 edition.
