How to Make Chocolate Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and 1 tablespoon grated orange zest.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  7. In a small bowl, combine ⅓ cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon grated orange zest.
  8. Roll rounded tablespoons of cookie dough into balls.
  9. Roll each ball in the orange sugar mixture.
  10. Place cookies about 3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  11. Gently flatten each cookie to about ½-inch thickness using the bottom of a glass.
  12. Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are still slightly soft.
  13. Let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
