Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 1 unit large egg
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoons orange zest
- 1 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice until fully combined and smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the white 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 to allow for spreading.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers are still soft. Avoid overbaking.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
