How to Make Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 3/4 cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/4 cup fresh orange juice and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips, 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans recommended), and the zest of 1 large orange.
- Cover the dough and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft.
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
