Blood oranges are in season right now. These delicious cookies will make you so happy you can find blood oranges right now. I used some blood orange olive oil (Olive Tree) and fresh blood orange juice to make these spectacular cookies. I love dipping them in dark chocolate. The perfect bright treat any time of the year. I may have to freeze some blood orange juice, so I will always have it on hand.
Another tip. These are sweet for me; I prefer less sugar. If you are like me, cut the sugar to 1/2 a cup and use no sugar added chocolate. That will change your carb count a lot.
