Ingredients

  • 1 cup (220 g) brown sugar
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) orange zest
  • 1 large (1 large) egg
  • 1 large (1 large) egg yolk
  • 1 tsp (1 tsp) vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp (2 tsp) orange juice, fresh
  • 2.5 cups (312.5 g) all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) kosher salt
  • 1 1/2 cup (270 g) white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 F and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.You can make this by hand or in a stand mixer or with a hand mixer on low- medium speed.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment add the 1 cup butter, the 1 cup brown sugar, and 2 tsp zest. Cream for 1 minute until fluffy. Add in the 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 1 tsp vanilla, 2 tsp orange juice and zest. Mix on low speed for 1 minutes to combine. 
  • Add in the 2.5 cups flour, ½ tsp baking soda, ½ tsp baking powder, and ¼ kosher salt. Mix until incorporated. Add in the white chocolate chips and mix together until they are mixed evenly throughout. 
  • Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon kitchen spoon, scoop out the dough onto the cookie sheet. Press more white chocolate chips into the cookie dough if you want! The cookies can be spaced close together right now while they are chilling. Chill the cookies in the freezer for 30 mins.
  • Bake the cookies 2 inches apart on separate cookie sheets for 13-14 minutes. You will need to bake the cookies in batches. Cool on a cookie rack and enjoy!

Notes

By zesting the orange on top of the sugar, you get the most orange flavor possible.
You can substitute orange extract for the juice but only use 1 tsp. 
These cookies freeze really well.
