I'm not a big fan of orange, but I think I might like these cookies. The chocolate dip sounds like it would help to balance out the orange flavor.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to hold their shape. I think I might have needed to chill the dough for longer before baking.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them with less sugar next time.
