White Chocolate with Orange Cookies
Look at these beautiful cookies! They’re not just easy on the eyes, but they also bring a burst of flavor that will make your taste buds dance.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grab your baking sheets and line them with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set it aside for now.
- In a large bowl, use a mixer to cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until it’s light and fluffy – about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure to mix well after each addition. Then stir in the orange zest and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, blending until just combined. Don’t overmix! Fold in the white chocolate chips and nuts if you’re using them.
- Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The centers might look a bit soft, but that’s perfect!
- Once done, let them cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
And there you have it! Soft, chewy, and full of flavor, these cookies are sure to be a hit. Enjoy them with a glass of cold milk or share them with your loved ones. Happy baking!
