Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 0.75 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 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 bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, using a hand mixer or stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the pure vanilla extract and orange zest until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the white chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. Do not overbake as the cookies will continue to set as they cool.
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 these delightful White Chocolate Orange Cookies! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
