Chewy Chocolate Orange Cookies

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C), and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. Add the white chocolate chips, semi sweet chocolate chips, and orange zest to a medium bowl. Toss them together and put the bowl aside.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter with the sugar until the mixture looks pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk the salt, baking soda, and flour together. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture a little at a time, mixing only until the dough comes together. Fold in the chocolate chip mixture so it is spread evenly through the dough.
5. Scoop the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between them. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Leave the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then move them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
