    I agree with wanting to have a stronger orange flavor. Next time I might try adding a touch of orange extract to the cookie dough. But they are still delicious and festive. I got 12 sandwich cookies from this recipe, would definately have to double if taking to a party or cookie exchange!!

    These cookies are, hands down, my family's favorite. They're not very difficult but a little time-consuming...but they're worth it! The only change I make is to dip the glass in granulated sugar instead of confectioner's sugar for pressing the cookies flat. The filling amount is right, and the cookies are spot on.

    I made 8 different kinds of cookies for Christmas and these were the favorites of the family. I made it exactly as directed. Didn't change anything. I used Droste cocoa powder. The filling just needs to have a thin layer and it does stay in the cookie once it cools. Just set the top on the "sandwich" lightly and let it cool.
    These taste like a Milano cookie only with a hint of orange. My family just loved these cookies.

    I first made these three years ago for Christmas cookies. They were a big hit at my school. The chocolate/orange combo is so tasty! These could become an addiction! They do take a little bit of time to make, but it's worth it to me.

    I really enjoyed the orange cookies but it was a lot more time consuming than I'd thought. Since I was crunched for time I used Nutella for the filling but think a darker chocolate would have worked better. Delicious but not worth another go.

    I made mine a little different...i didn't use confectionary sugar..just plain granulated sugar..it came out a little different..quite different actually..but i added more flour and butter and it worked. Couldn't use the cup method, so i used my fingers to press it down instead. For the chocolate, i added too much cream and it didn't quite thickened the way its supposed to be..placed it in the fridge and it's kinda like fudge now..so instead of sandwiches, i just scooped some onto a slice of cookie and ate it..Very nice..and very rich..the orange zest, i added only as i didn't want it too heavy. Really subtle flavour..NICE! and easy too
