Chocolate Citrus Sugar and Chocolate Peppermint Cookies

I found this recipe from The Pioneer Woman and thought that they were so pretty!

I just love chocolate and peppermint. But then I remembered my FAVORITE combination:

Chocolate and orange!
To make the chocolate and orange variation, just use Pioneer Woman's recipe and use citrus sugar instead of the peppermint.

To make citrus sugar:
Grate the rind of one orange and add to about 1/2 of granulated sugar. Stir and add more grated orange rind or sugar as desired.
