Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons Orange zest
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 large Eggs
- 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 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 large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the orange zest, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
