How to make Chocolate Chip Cookies with a hint of orange zest.
I love the flavor combination of chocolate and orange. I still remember getting those chocolate oranges as a child for Christmas with the chocolate was in the shape of orange slices. Anyone else remember them? Today I’m going to be sharing an old recipe I have had for a long time. It is in my recipe binder and I have no idea where it came from, but it’s still one of my favorite ways to make a simple chocolate chip cookies extra special. Enjoy!
Chocolate Chip Orange Cookies
Chocolate chip cookies with a hint of orange zest dress up a classic recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks melted butter cooled slightly (you do not want to cook the eggs)
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 Tablespoon orange zest
- 2 3/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 package chocolate chips
For the Citrus Sugar:
- 2 Tablespoons sugar
- 1 Tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Mix the sugars into the cooled melted butter. Add the eggs and mix well. Add the orange extract and orange zest. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and mix well. When combined, add the chips.
- In a small bowl, make the citrus sugar. Combine the sugar with the zest and sprinkle on top of the cookie batter. (I dipped my cookies into the sugar, thought it was easier.)
- Bake in a 350 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
