Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 150 grams dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons optional powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg, orange zest, and orange juice, and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until a dough forms.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 5 cm apart.
Lightly flatten each dough ball with the back of a spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
