A fluffy, creamy, orange and chocolate dream! I found this recipe in Family Circle Magazine in 1983 and I have made it every year since. I have tried different chocolate morsels and they all work great. Special dark chocolate is my favorite. They are a nice change from regular chocolate chip cookies.
