Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 0.75 cup granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup light brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 large orange)
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 cups white chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large 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, about 2-3 minutes. Use a hand or stand mixer for best results.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest until combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, 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 spatula or wooden spoon until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls 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 just beginning to turn golden. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to set as they cool.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
