these cookies are my new favorite cookies. no joke. and you know i do a lot of baking, so that's saying a lot. remember that blog i told you about a while ago, the girl who ate everything? yep, found the recipe on her blog. it's fabulous. the orange zest and white chocolate are delicious together. i was planning on taking these cookies to some of my favorite friends and isaac told me it was a bad idea, we needed all the cookies to ourselves. and he was right. therefore, i can only make these cookies once in a while because my self control goes out the window when these little diddies are around. next time i promise to share with friends. on to the recipe...ingredients:
2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup {2 sticks} butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons orange zest {2 oranges should do}
2 cups white chocolate chips
directions:
preheat oven to 375. in a small bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside. in a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and creamy. beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. gradually add flour mixture until combined. stir in orange zest and chips.
drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. do not flatten cookies - it will make them dry. bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown around edges. do not overcook! cookies will be plump. cool for several minutes on baking sheets before transferring to rack to cool completely.
yum. i know i'm always posting about my latest baked good - i promise i cook too. but let's be honest, baking beats cooking any day.
