This is one of Georgia Watson's recipes, who is Mark's (my husband) great grandmother. I honestly don't know much about her. Which is kind of sad now that I think of it, that will be my homework for my next recipe of hers that I feature.
This recipe is not like a classic chocolate chip cookie, it is a shortbread. My kids have never had a shortbread until I made these and I think you either like short breads or you don't. I personally love a shortbread with tea or coffee in the afternoon. These are rich, have the perfect crumb, the orange, hint of hazelnut, and chocolate are such a wonderful combination.
Orange Chocolate Hazelnut Shortbreads
Ingredients:
2 3/4 cups of organic unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup coconut sugar
2 eggs
2 tbs orange juice
1 tbs orange zest
1/2 cup hazelnuts (chopped fine)
1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Topping:
1 tsp orange zest
2 tbs orange juice
1/2 cup chocolate chips
sea salt ( optional)
Directions:
Mix flour, salt, and baking soda together. Add coconut oil to the flour and mix until completely combined. Add coconut sugar, eggs, and zest. Lastly, add chopped hazelnuts and chocolate chips.
Get a large piece of parchment paper, and dump cookie dough into the parchment paper. Form the dough into a roll. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Get the log and unwrap. Use a knife to slice the cookies to be 1/2 inch thick. Place the cookies on a cookie sheet that is lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 - 12 minutes. Let the cool completely before you add the chocolate topping.
Topping:
Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan on low heat. Add the orange juice and orange zest, and stir until all the chocolate is smooth. Drizzle the chocolate on top of the cookies and sprinkle some sea salt on top. The salt...I believe is necessary.

Little touches like the graceful line created by the polished bevels on the lugs, and the way the bezel is actually set into the top of the case rather than just sitting on top of it, help tie things together as well; they're not grand gestures and so, perhaps a bit easy to miss but they do show that CFB link put care and thought into how they moved from link the basic engineering aspects of link the movement, to producing the final result.
Intentionality and link originality have been essential to the Glashütte Original's legacy, the roots of which can be traced back to 1845 when watchmakers first began link settling and honing their craft in Saxony. Today, the brand not only continues the craftsmanship and attention to detail that's a hallmark of traditional German watchmaking but goes one step further by producing over 95% of the components in each link watch movement completely in-house.
The Mirage 38's gold case shape link follows from the asymmetrical movement. It measures link 34 x 38mm (42mm lug-to-lug) and 7mm thick. It wears like a round 38mm watch, link but stretches and pinches in ways that feel more ergonomic than a familiar round shape. The organic curves seem to match the natural contours of the wrist, wrist bone and all. This is also thanks to the thin case measuring just 7mm, with short, gently curving lugs.
Caliber: Calibre E4, using a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4100+ processor, with sensors link for heart rate, compass, accelerometer, gyroscope, NFC, link microphone, Barometer. At launch, the watch will run on Google Wear OS 2; users will have the option to upgrade to Google Wear OS 3 at no extra cost when the update link becomes available.
