Orange Vanilla Chip Cookies

Source of Recipe

From "The Magnolia Bakery Cookbook"


Recipe Introduction

"These cookies were inspired by a recipe in Country Living magazine. It's rather unique and reminds us of eating Creamsicles. People's mouths water over these! If you can't find vanilla chips, use white chocolate chips."

List of Ingredients

â—¦ 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
â—¦ ¾ tsp baking soda
â—¦ ½ tsp salt
â—¦ 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
â—¦ ½ cup sugar
â—¦ ½ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
â—¦ 1 large egg, at room temperature
â—¦ 1 Tbsp grated orange zest
â—¦ 1 cup vanilla chips


Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F.

In a large bowl, sift together the flour, the baking soda and the salt. Set aside.

In a large bowl, cream the butter with the sugars until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the egg and mix well. Add the flour mixture and beat thoroughly. Stir in the orange zest and the vanilla chips.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, leaving several inches between for expansion. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown.

Cool the cookies on the sheets for 1 minute, then remove to a rack to cool completely.


Makes 2 to 3 dozen cookies
