Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Zest of 1 large orange
  • ¼ cup orange juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Freeze unbaked cookie dough for up to 3 months; bake directly from frozen, adding 1-2 minutes to the bake time. Microwave cookies for 10-15 seconds to enjoy warm.
