Chocolatey-Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

Chinese New Year is round the corner, and apart from the spring cleaning and house decorating to get into the CNY mood, baking is another good way to get myself into the CNY mood. However, now with 2 kids, I could no longer bake some varieties of cookies for the festive season. So I have decided to bake some chocolate chips cookies over the weekend, and found this yummy recipe from All Recipes.com. I've always loved the choc-orange combo, thus I've made some changes to the recipe.

225 g butter, softened
270 g white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
250 g all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp. salt
Zest of 1 orange

2.In large bowl, beat butter, sugar, eggs, orange zest and vanilla until light and fluffy. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; stir into the butter mixture until well blended. Mix in the chocolate chips and almonds. Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheets.
