Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (280g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda (5g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (3g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (227g)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar (150g)
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar, packed (100g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest (from 1–2 oranges)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5ml)
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips (255g)

Instructions

  1. Zest your orange(s) using a microplane, avoiding the white pith. Juice the oranges and set aside. Let butter come to room temperature. Measure out all other ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl or mixer, beat unsalted butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar for 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl as needed.
  5. Beat in eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each. Add orange zest, orange juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
  6. On low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix just until combined—do not overmix.
  7. Gently fold in white chocolate chips with a spatula.
  8. Use a medium cookie scoop (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) and drop dough onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set but centers look slightly underbaked. Rotate pans halfway for even browning.
  10. Let cookies rest on the sheet for 3-4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh orange zest and juice. Do not overbake—cookies will firm up as they cool. For bakery-style looks, press extra white chocolate chips into the tops before baking. Dough can be chilled or frozen for later use. To keep cookies soft, store with a slice of bread in the container.
