Terry’s Chocolate Orange Cookies!

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!

Made these for my work Macmillan coffee morning and they are the best cookies I’ve ever made!!! Absolutely 10/10!!
Awh thats amazing!!
Hi , loved the recipe and can’t wait to try it….. But we don’t eat eggs…. Can you please suggest a substitute for it…. Thanks in advance 😊😊😊
hi there, your cookies are beautiful. I just made these…..tried to convert to US measurements. Mine came out puffy and very dark chocolate color. they dont look anything like yours? help?
Hiya – if you are in America some of the ingredients would be different which would be the cause.
These were a real hit with my work colleagues. I quartered the orange for the topping to give more of that gooey chocolate hit! Have wondered about using the mini segments with the exploding candy, but not sure how that will bake?
Will definitely be making these again, you can’t beat the chocolate orange combination.
I reckon they might be okay, but some of the explodeyness might disappear?! You could put the segments on top with the candy in?! x
Just made a batch of these cookies. Really pleased with how they’ve turned out and they taste so good!
Hi these look divine , would I be able to make it as a cookie dough, Terry’s chocolate cookie dough lol
I’m unsure what you mean as to ‘make it as cookie dough’? Do you mean eat it raw? I wouldn’t recommend that.
Not raw … I mean make it in a ramekin and cook till gooey
Oooh yes definitely then!
Made these today. My husband and son love them (me too), I took some to work to say thank you for some favours and everyone loved them. Make exactly as the recipe says, it’s perfect. Thank you.
Awh thank you!! X
Just taken these out of the oven… house smells amazing, not sure I can wait until they are cool to try them!!
Hi Jane,
Do you use the Terrys chocolate orange minis or actual chocolate orange in your cookies?
Whichever I have, they both work perfectly!
Hi Jane,
I wanna make these cookies but my kids have werid allergies to cocoa powder so can I just take that out? And will it mean I will end up with a normal beige colour dough?
Thanks
Haleemah
P.S I LOVE UR RECIPES!
Hey! I’ve never tried these without cocoa powder but you would need to replace it with 50g more of the flour, so 225g total. x
Oh okay thanks Jane I will let u know how it goes!
Would this recipe work using margarine (stork) instead of butter? Chocolate orange is the best combination!
Yes it would! X
