Cookie week is nearing an end I hope you enjoy the last two cookies I have for you. Today’s comes from the Tate’s Bake Shop Cookbook by Kathleen King. Tate’s is a well known bakery in the Hamptons and surrounding area and is famous for their chocolate chip cookies. As I purused the cookbook these orange and oat chewies stood out. I had to try them.
According to the note above the recipe, Kathleen got it from her professor at Suny Cobleskill College who’s sister created the recipe to win a Pillsbury bake-off contest. I figured the recipe had to be good and they were.
These thin cookies are crisp yet chewy and the orange flavor is a welcomed addition. I always think of oranges at Christmas. I always got one in the toe of my stocking. The smell of a fresh orange is one of my favorite smells. This cookie is perfect for Christmas.
I also have a giveaway today to go along with this recipe. Be sure to check it out on my giveaway page.

I’ve wanted to make these since you posted, but as with all goodies, when I make them, *I* eat them! 😉 I put it off until recently and then the weather here in TX has been so hot I didn’t want to bake, but a spring storm rolled through here last night and dropped our temps to the 60s … PERFECT, quiet, kid-free day to bake, and they’re SO good! I think I’ll try adding more zest next time since I didn’t quite get enough orange flavor for my taste, but otherwise, perfection!
