I have a really basic (and popular) from scratch chocolate chip cookie recipe that I sometimes like to make variations on (like using rye flour instead of white, or putting cocoa in it, or using smarties, or making it in a loaf pan as 'cookie bread'😉 and the other day I thought I would like to try putting some orange juice concentrate in it, probably with cocoa as well. I am just not sure how orange juice would affect how it bakes, or how much I should try putting in. Any ideas?
I'm going from memory so it may not be accurate but it's something like this: 2 cups flour 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup butter 2 eggs 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking powder (or soda? I can never remember which) some vanilla however much chocolate chips you like (I usually use most of a small bag)

Instead of orange juice concentrate, maybe you could try some freshly grated orange peel? It's much more simple, as you don't have to adjust the other ingredients and the final result is in both cases the same: a chocolate cookie with an orangy taste. I always make my cookies this way and they turn out excellent.

Rather than orange juice, I would use orange oil (or extract if you can't find oil--but bear in mind oil will give a stronger and fresher orange flavor) and some finely grated orange peel. Since orange oil is so much stronger than extract, use about 1/4 tsp to start and taste the dough. 1 tbsp of peel should be plenty.
