Ingredients 🛒:
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
1 tbsp orange zest (freshly grated)
1 tbsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp orange extract (optional for extra flavor)
½ cup white chocolate chips (optional, for extra creaminess)
Instructions:
Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Mix the dry ingredients:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the egg and flavors:
Add the egg, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and orange extract (if using). Beat until well combined.
Combine dry and wet ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. If using, fold in the white chocolate chips.
Form the cookies:
Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each cookie about 2 inches apart.
Bake:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. The centers should be soft.
Cool and enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
💡 Tips:
For a burst of citrus flavor, you can sprinkle a tiny bit of orange zest on top of the cookies before baking.
Make sure not to over-bake these cookies to keep them soft and chewy.
These cookies are amazing with a cup of tea or a glass of milk!
