Ingredients
For the cookie dough
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 large zest of 1 large orange
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (optional) You can substitute with dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips if desired.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs, orange zest, and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

Notes
For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes if too sticky and avoid overmixing to keep cookies tender. These cookies pair well with milk or can be served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
