Chocolate Orange Slice Cookies mimic orange slices dipped in chocolate. Bright, tangy citrusy flavor comes from orange Kool-Aid mix baked into the cookies! Perfect cookie recipe for cookie exchanges and during the holidays.
Chocolate Orange Cookies are a fun, unique cookie recipe that everyone loved! Orange Kool-Aid is baked into a traditional cookie recipe, providing a bright orange flavor. Instead of scooping out the dough, roll into large balls, dip in orange sugar and cut wedges. You can bake the cute cookies and enjoy them, but I dipped them partially in chocolate for a special treat.
Chocolate Orange Slice Cookies
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup (2 cubes) softened butter
- 1 .15 oz package orange drink mix (Kool-Aid)
- 1 egg
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cream of tartar
- 1/4 cup orange sugar sprinkles
- 1 cup chocolate dipping/coating wafers
- In a mixing bowl combine powdered sugar, butter, dry drink mix and the egg. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in flour, salt and cream of tartar.
- divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and roll each ball in the orange sugar until coated, pressing into dough if needed. Chill balls for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice each ball into 8 wedges. Place wedges on lined baking sheet, fitting 24-28 wedges on a sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes. Cool cookies completely.
- Melt dipping chocolate in a glass bowl for 1 minute in the microwave. Add additional time in 15 second increments until smooth and melted. (Do not overheat!)
- Dip half of each cookie in melting chocolate and cool on parchment paper. Store in an airtight container.

This handsome kid is my middle child in every sense of the word. Middle son, middle child and plenty of middle child syndrome, ha! I try and give him a little extra attention to compensate and it seems to be doing the trick. In the last year he’s grown and matured to the point where not only do I love him as my child, but I really, really like him too! He’s so fun to be around and always has me laughing. He’s so talented in so many ways too. I can’t wait to see what he does as he continues to grow.
