Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
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 edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your zesty and chocolatey Orange Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
