These are very good cookies. I will definately make these again. I did however, add some orange zest & I drizzled the dark chocolate onto the cookie, instead of dipping it. Dipping them in the chocolate, made it too sweet. I found that drizzling the chocolate, made them just perfect. These cookies have made a fine addition to my cookie trays.
