How to Make Chocolate Chip Orange Oatmeal Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position oven rack in the middle and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups rolled oats, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 large egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and the zest of 1 large orange.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients (from step 2) to the wet ingredients (from step 3), mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips.
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoons, spacing 1 ½ inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
