How to Make Choco Orange Spiced Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed brown sugar, and ¼ cup Splenda until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  3. Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 2 cups chocolate chips, and the zest of 1 large orange.
  7. Because the dough will be stiff, use your hands to thoroughly mix everything together.
  8. Using a 1/8 cup cookie scoop or measuring cup, scoop out dough and roll into balls.
  9. Lightly flatten each ball on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. For chewier cookies, bake for 10 minutes. For crispier cookies, bake for 12 minutes.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheets for 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
