Orange Cream Chocolate Chip Cookies image

The original recipe came from a magazine, but I doctored it a bit. This recipe incorporates frozen orange juice concentrate, for the added orange flavour that reviewers are missing in other recipes of this type. I think next time I will use orange extract or orange liquor..
