Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure butter is at room temperature.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs Room temperature preferred.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour Sifted before measuring.
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium orange, zest Use fresh zest for the best flavor.
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the orange zest and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Baking
  1. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each cookie.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is okay as they’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet.
  3. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze in a single layer and keep in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Warm in the microwave for a gooey treat.
