Chocolate Orange Cookies
Description
Chocolate Orange Cookies are made by creaming together softened butter and sugars, then incorporating eggs and vanilla for moisture and flavor. The dry ingredients include flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder, creating a soft, chocolatey base. Chopped chocolate orange pieces and mini chocolate chips fold into the dough, along with orange zest that adds a fresh citrus twist. Baking the cookies at 375°F renders edges that are lightly golden while maintaining a tender, slightly creamy center.
These cookies balance the deep flavor of cocoa with the brightness of orange, providing a nuanced taste profile. They bake into a size suitable for easy portioning and make a satisfying treat alongside coffee or tea. Allowing the cookies to cool briefly on the baking sheets helps them set before transferring to wire racks for thorough cooling.
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg large
- 1 egg large, yolk
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- 1 chocolate orange chopped (milk or dark)
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1-2 teaspoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°. Cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together in a large bowl or mixer. Add egg, egg yolk and vanilla and stir until well mixed. Stir in flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda, and cocoa powder until blended (dough will be soft and creamy).
- Add chopped chocolate orange, mini chocolate chips, and orange zest. Mix until well combined.
- Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets 3-inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool 1 minute on wire rack; remove from baking sheets and cool completely. Makes about 4 dozen.
