Orange Zest Cookies

This is one of the must-try cookie recipe. I adopted from Keyingredient.com Orange Creamsickle Cookies' recipe. Orange zest makes the big different from other cookies...smell and taste the fresh orange.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

In a small bowl, combine...

• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt

and set aside.

In a large bowl, cream...

• 2 sticks (2 cups) softened butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar

until light and creamy. Beat in...

• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp. vanilla

until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture until just combined. Stir in...

• 2 Tbsp. Orange zest ( from 2 oranges)
• 2 cups white chocolate chips

Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookies sheets. Don't flatten cookies (it will make them dry).
Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around edges. (Cookies will be plump if overcooked).
Cool for several minutes on cookie sheets before transferring to cooling rack to cool completely.
Store in airtight container.
