Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the egg, orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look slightly underbaked. They will set as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your zesty and chocolatey Orange Chip Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite warm beverage!
