Cocoa, Orange & Peanut Cookies!!
I’m Spanish, but I’m from Valencia—the land of oranges 🍊!! That’s why you’ll see me using them a lot in sweet treats like cookies, cakes, syrups, etc.
These cookies remind me a lot of the flavor of chocolate “polvorón” (is a traditional Christmas sweet usually made with almonds and lard as a base). And honestly, I don’t know why, but these cookies have a similar taste! All I can say is that they’re absolutely delicious!

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Mix the yolks and sugar.
In a bowl, combine the two egg yolks and the sugar. Mix well.
- 2
Add dry ingredients and butter.
Weigh out the cocoa powder and add it along with a pinch of salt, flour, and the cold butter. Mix with the sugar-yolk mixture.
- 3
Prepare the orange zest.
Wash the orange and grate the zest.
- 4
Form the dough.
Now we’re going to mix all the ingredients by hand—it’s the best way, really! With the warmth of your hand, the butter will blend perfectly with the rest of the ingredients. Form a smooth, uniform dough.
- 5
Add the nuts.
Once we have decided on the nuts we want to use, break them into small pieces and add them to the dough. Mix until they are evenly distributed!
- 6
With both hands, shape the dough into a long roll, wrap it in plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for 30 minutes. (You’ll notice it’s covered in brown sugar—that wasn’t a good idea, don’t do it! 🙈🤣 It melts and burns!)
- 7
Slice the cookies.
Once firm, cut the log into slices about ½ inch thick and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- 8
Bake.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Bake until the cookies are firm and slightly golden on top.
- 9
Coat with sugar.
While still warm, roll the edges of the cookies in sugar for an extra touch. Let them cool on a wire rack.

Enjoy!
Once cooled, enjoy these delicious chocolate-orange-peanut cookies!

Crispy Cocoa & Chocolate Cookies Crispy Cocoa & Chocolate Cookies
I was re-arranging my Praline Cookie recipe. I ran out of chocolate chips, so I used a chocolate bar instead. Chunks of chocolate gave these cookies a nice texture and I thought it actually better than the original recipe.If you chill the cookies in the fridge, the chunks of chocolate turn crunchier and more delicious.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cookies Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cookies
I made some peanut butter cookies for a peanut butter-loving friend by referencing a foreign recipe site. I made it many times, adjusting the combination of ingredients, until I came up with just the right balance that everyone loves.The corn starch gives it a great, crunchy texture. It's soft and fluffy when just baked (so soft, you won't be able to move them around). That's why you should be sure to let it cool on the paper before handling them. If they break apart while they're still warm, you can try forming them back together again and rearranging the shapes. If you let it sit for a day, the flavors will settle. Recipe by VitaminY -

Super Easy Cocoa Cookies Super Easy Cocoa Cookies
This was my first time trying to make cookies, so I used a small amount of ingredients just in case it didn't turn out well. Surprisingly, they were quite delicious! ^^ If you decide to make them, feel free to double or triple the ingredients. The amount I made yields only 12 cookies with a diameter of 2 inches and about 0.4 inches thick, just tiny 😂
