Yesterday afternoon, I was inspired to bake cookies for the freshman class I help teach because it was the second to last class that day. I started off thinking "chocolate chip cookies," and I probably should have stopped there in the interest of accommodating their teenaged palates. But, as I am wont to do, I had to get fancy.
The students ended up inhaling the cookies, so the subtle citrus aroma was probably wasted on them. These do make a tasty and slightly more sophisticated alternative to chocolate chip cookies, though, if you want to impress your grown-up friends. They're soft and chewy and chocolatey and orangey and kind of addicting.
