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!
- 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!

These look amazing. Thanks for stopping by my blog. I am glad you did since now I have found yours! Looking forward to looking at your other recipes too.
Thank you so much! I adore custard creams so loved the look of yours!! And I hope you like my recipes! 🙂 x
Gotta try these, love orange and chocolate together, and sticky cookies too 🙂 we don’t have self raising flour here in Finland, so do you think that I’ll need to double the baking powder? I’ll hashtag you in instagram when i bake these 🙂
Thank you!! And yeah I guess that would work, definitely try it if that’s what you usually do when you substitute it? And thank you!!
These sound delicious, omg yes!
…but all I can say in the negative is that 12 cookies is DEFINITELY not gonna be enough for me…so it’s Recipe multiplier time!!
*hauls out calculator, mashes “x” button frantically*
Haha thank you!! I tend to make double batches on all cookies I make!!
Yess, chocolate orange is the bestest
I totally agree!!
These look and sound so delicious! Chocolate oranges are the best.
Thank you so much!! And they really are! X
Love the look of these, On my list of things to try!!!
Thank you so much!! And I hope you like the recipe!!
Oh my gosh it’s so lovely to see you using Terry’s Chocolate Orange. I’m an English girl in America and it’s my favourite chocolate but you can’t really get it here. I found Milanos chocolate orange cookies were a good alternative but nothing like the real thing. Whenever I go home I always bring some back. ? xo
Oh noo that must be tough!! And I’m not surprised you do! Whenever I go on holiday I miss it and Cadburys so much haha 😛 but thank you so much too!! Xx
I looooove chocolate and orange together, I have got to give these a go, they look amazing! X
Thank you!! And please do! I hope you enjoy the recipe 🙂 x
Chocolate and orange just work and play nice together despite it seeming totally illogical for it to be so!
They really do!! I always think the orange will make the chocolae split but they are a marriage made in heaven!
These turned out amazing and looked exactly like the pictures, will definitely be using this recipe again!!
These literally made me go “oooooo”, definitely going to have to check this recipe out. Love cookies, love chocolate orange – what’s better than combining the two?!
Thanks for sharing 🙂

Awwwh thank you Chloe that’s so sweet! And that’s exactly the thought I had! Im going to do other chocolate orange goods soon too! Haha x
