Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 75 grams light brown sugar
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 teaspoons orange juice
- 190 grams all-purpose flour
- 25 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Chocolate Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies!
