A recipe for Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies! The addition of orange zest adds a nice flavorful and aromatic twist to this classic chocolate chip cookie.

I had a few extra oranges from my CSA box last week and came across this recipe for Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies to help use them up. They are such a delicious twist on the classic cookie and come together easily in less than 30 minutes!

Softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar are beaten together until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, followed by the orange zest and vanilla extract. Slowly incorporate the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to create a smooth dough. The chocolate chips are gently folded in last.

Tablespoons of the dough are placed about 3 inches apart on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet. The cookies are then baked until golden on the bottom, about 10 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes to keep them from falling apart before removing to a wire rack to cool completely or (my favorite part) serving while still warm.

These Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies are packed with 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. For a more orange creamsicle flavor, substitute with white chocolate chips or even use a mixture of the two for more variety.

I like to use a medium cookie scoop to help make all the cookies roughly the same size as I transfer them to the baking sheet.

After baking and cooling, the cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer-safe, airtight bag for up to 2 months.
