Ingredients

• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons Orange zest
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 large Eggs
• 2.25 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Mix in the orange zest, vanilla extract, and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon.

Step 7

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
