Chocolate Chip Orange Oatmeal Cookies

---

You might call these slightly adult cookies as they have a taste that is a bit more sophisticated. I made 3 batches for neighbors welcome home tea (she has been in the hospital). The 4 kids seemed to think they were ok and preferred other items while the adults cleaned up the tray. I used bittersweet chocolate.
