How to Make Orange Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

  1. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ¾ cup packed brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
  2. Beat in 2 large eggs, 1 tablespoon orange zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the creamed mixture and mix until just combined.
  4. Stir in 2 cups chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped walnuts. Cover the dough and chill for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to handle.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease baking sheets.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to ½-inch thickness.
  7. Use a 3-inch lightly floured cookie cutter to cut out cookies.
  8. Place cookies 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  10. Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.
