Chocolate Chip Surprise Cookies

I am a chocolate chip cookie girl at heart.  I'll eat all of the other kinds, but my happy cookie must have chocolate chips in it.  I'm also slightly picky about the texture of the cookies: the have to be soft, not crispy, but they can't be soggy.  They need to be able to hold up if you want to dip them in some milk.  I am also the kind of girl who could eat chocolate hazelnut spread straight from the jar.  Add those to my cookies and I am blissfully happy!

These cookies are loaded with my beloved chocolate chips, and have the added bonus of a nice chocolate hazelnut center!

Mandarin Orange Crackle Cookies

Mandarin oranges are one of my favorite fruits, and in winter they are fresh and abundant!  Orange also happens to be a delicious dessert flavoring, and fresh juices make the flavors perfect!
