Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Hand mixer
  • Wire Cooling Rack

Ingredients

  • 2 cups + 2 tbsp flour
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 12 tbsp butter melted and cooled until just warm
  • 1 tbsp fresh orange zest
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 large yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips divided

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a silpat mat.
  • Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl; set aside.
  • Using a hand beater or stand mixer, beat the butter, sugars, and orange zest together until thoroughly blended.
  • Beat in the egg, extra yolk, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients and beat at low speed until just combined.
  • Stir in MOST of the white chocolate chips.
  • Form small spoonfuls of dough into balls and place them on the baking sheet 2 ½ inches apart. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  • Bake until the cookies are light golden brown, the outer edges begin to harden, and the centers are still soft and puffy, about 15-18 minutes, making sure to rotate the baking sheet halfway through.
  • Remove from the oven and gently press a few white chocolate chips into the top of each cookie.
  • Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for a few minutes before moving them to a wire cooling rack to cool. Enjoy.
