How to Bake Aero® Chocolate Orange Cookies

These chocolate orange cookies come together faster than you can zest an orange, and you don’t even need a stand mixer. Let’s go!

Aero® Chocolate Orange Cookies Cookie Variations

To add even more orange flavour to your cookies, make an easy icing sugar orange glaze. Simply mix 100g of icing sugar with a few teaspoons of orange juice, just enough to create a pourable drizzle, then add the zest of one orange. Drizzle the cookies and enjoy! For some extra crunch, fold in 50g of toasted coconut.

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the buttery baking spread, brown sugar and white sugar. Mix well to combine.
  3. Add the egg and vanilla extract. Mix to combine.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cocoa powder.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the Aero® Orange chunks and orange zest. The aim is to keep the pieces and bubbles intact, so it’s best to use the edge of a metal tablespoon or a silicone spatula.
  7. Pop the bowl of dough into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill. This will help prevent the cookies from spreading too much, giving you chunkier cookies!
  8. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls onto the lined baking tray, spacing them about 5cm apart. Aim for 12 cookie balls.
  9. Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden but the centres still look slightly soft.
  10. Allow to cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Top Tips

The secret to a crispy edge and a soft centre is not to overbake the cookies. The centres will look soft when you take them out of the oven, but they will firm up as they cool.
