Ingredients

• 0.75 cups unsalted butter
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups light brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoons orange zest (from 1 large orange)
• 2 tablespoons orange juice (freshly squeezed)
• 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1.25 cups white chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice to the bowl, and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Fold in the white chocolate chips using a rubber spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll into balls (about 1.5 tablespoons each). Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will look slightly underbaked but will set as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the cookies once cooled or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
