Ingredients
  

1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup brown sugar, packed

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Zest of 1 large orange

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

½ cup white chocolate chips (optional for a twist)

Instructions
 

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

    In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

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

        Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the sugar mixture, mixing until combined.

          Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

            Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips (if using) until evenly distributed.

              Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.

                Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers look slightly underbaked.

                  Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
