I love these cookies, have made them once a week since the blog. Unlike Corey, I added extra orange flavor with the dark chocolate, cranberry, cherry, pecan combo I did, using the orange oil. To me nothing is as rich or yummy as the combo of orange and chocolate. I have also done a coconut, walnut, butterscotch chip combo and a dried pineapple, coconut, macadamia nut combo that was a big hit. I also have a question. How long is too long to keep the dough in the fridge, and by that I mean how long before it will adversely affect the spread of the cookie. One batch sat for near a week, due to a crazy week and the cookies did not spread at all. Is it because of the prolonged fridge storage? Thanks! Yes, Lish, I think maybe 3 days would be your outside limit, though I haven't tested this. I think the starch just degrades too much, the leavening loses its punch... lots of stuff happens. Just throw it in the freezer if you can't use it after a few days. PJH
