Delicious moist & crunchy cookies full to the brim with chunks of Terry’s chocolate orange – heavenly Terry’s chocolate orange cookies!
Chocolate orange bakes
I have ALWAYS adored chocolate + orange flavouring together – especially Terry’s chocolate orange – it sounds like an odd combination at first if you haven’t tried it, but once you have, you will never forget it. It is genuinely my favourite chocolate.
I can’t stop making chocolate orange themed bakes… genuinely, my chocolate orange layer cake, and my chocolate orange cupcakes are always well received, and every Christmas I have to make my no-bake chocolate orange cheesecake and everyone always adores it. However, I went to the supermarket recently and picked up a bag of Terry’s chocolate orange cookies to buy, I realised I might as well bake them at home myself.
Cookies
As you all know by now, I am utterly obsessed with cookie baking. My NYC Chocolate Chip Cookies! have always been incredibly popular, as well as my Chocolate Orange NYC Cookies but these classic terry’s chocolate orange cookies are one of my absolute favourites.
These cookies are always perfect to bake around Christmas time, during the summer, or when you are just craving something utterly delicious. The perfect part about them is that the oils in the chocolate orange that create the flavouring, makes the cookie bake perfectly every single time – I have honestly never had a problem with these.
No chill cookie dough
The wonderful part about this cookie dough, is that it doesn’t need chilling. It’s a cookie dough where all you have to do is cream the butter and sugars, whack in the egg and a little flavouring, whack in the dry ingredients, shove in all the chocolate orange ever, and bake. Most other recipes I’ve seen require chilling first, and these beauties don’t need it.
Not needing chilling means you can get to my favourite cookies ever, quicker. Honestly, these are genuinely my favourite cookie recipe I have, partly because of the Terry’s chocolate orange obsession I have going on, but that’s not entirely it. I genuinely just think the actual cookie is insane! It’s such a wonderful mix of chewy, gooey, and delicious. If you bake it for longer, it’ll get crunchy too.
My favourite
This recipe has been on my blog for quite a while now, and as I write this after updating the images in May 2024, it remains to be my favourite cookie. I know the recipe off by heart and have experimented with it a few times, resulting in recipes such as my Toblerone cookies, and my M&M cookies. I’ve also created a cookie bar version of these because I just adore them THAT much.
Honestly, imagine baking these, and serving them with a scoop of my Terry’s chocolate orange ice cream, or having a Terry’s themed party and devouring these and my other 15 themed recipes as well. Maybe I love it too much, but honestly, if you try these you will understand my pure and utter love. Enjoy the recipe!
Tips & Tricks
- You don’t have to add the chocolate pieces on top, you can include it all in the dough, but I love having melted bits of chocolate on top of a cookie – especially if I am serving them warm with a drink, such a gooey chocolate treat!
- If you don’t have Terry’s chocolate orange where you are, you could try using milk chocolate with a bit more orange zest, or even a bit of orange flavouring which I often do!
- I use this cookie scoop in this recipe
- I use these large trays
- These cookies will last for 5-7+ days, at room temperature
- These cookies can freeze 3+ months
- Recipe updated May 2024 – only change was swapping 175g of self raising flour to 250g of plain flour. The original recipe is still delicious, but the cookies spread a bit more.
Terry's Chocolate Orange Cookies!
Ingredients
- 125 g unsalted butter
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 100 g light brown sugar
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- Zest of 1 large orange (or 1tsp orange extract)
- 25 g cocoa powder
- 225 g plain flour
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 250 g Terry's chocolate orange (chopped)
- 16 Segments Terry's chocolate orange
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 190ºc/170ºc fan and line 2-3 large baking trays with parchment paper
- Beat butter and sugars together until combined
- Add egg and vanilla, and orange zest and mix
- Add cocoa powder, plain flour, bicarbonate of soda, baking powder, salt and mix
- Add chopped chocolate orange pieces and mix into the dough
- Portion the cookie dough into cookies, I use a 5cm scoop, and place onto the trays. I do 6 per large tray to allow room for the cookie to spread.
- Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes – remove and add a segment to each cookie, and then leave the cookies to cool on the trays.
Notes
- You don’t have to add the chocolate pieces on top, you can include it all in the dough, but I love having melted bits of chocolate on top of a cookie – especially if I am serving them warm with a drink, such a gooey chocolate treat!

It’s rare that I follow a recipe without changing it at all, but I followed these to the letter and they were delicious, thank you for the recipe!
Could you use cacao powder instead of cocoa powder?
Is it 225 plain or 250 plain? Thanks
These came out beautifully! I decided to take a risk and substitute the chocolate orange slices for chocolate chips (100g dark chocolate and 100g milk chocolate) and they’re still so full of orange flavour just from the zest!
Really excited to share with my friends and family, and now I have something delicious to fight my cravings to eat a whole chocolate orange in one sitting. Thank you so much!
Unreal recipe- made the most delicious cakey cookies! I used SR flour instead of plain as I had no baking powder and I made 8 larger cookies instead of 16 (baked for around 17 mins but kept an eye on them). Will use this recipe time and time again now as it was so popular
Made these today for a Halloween party and they are delicious! I did find there was too much flour, the dough came out really solid and it was almost impossible to mix in the chocolate. I ended up needing to add around 7 tablespoons of milk until it seemed like the right consistency and they turned out perfect 🤩
I love the chocolate Orange through these cookies but would rather a plain vanilla cookie base rather than the chocolate base. What would I change about the recipe? Would I take out the cocoa powder and increase the flour? Would I need to add any cornflour or change the sugar amounts?
Hey! You need to take out the cocoa powder, and add 50g of plain flour – you can add 1tbsp of cornflour as well but the sugar stays the same x
