These delightful cookies combine the tangy flavor of orange with the creamy sweetness of white chocolate, creating a treat that's perfect for any occasion.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking soda, then set aside.
Sifting the flour can help prevent lumps and ensure a smooth dough.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, margarine, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Use room temperature butter for easier mixing.
Add the vanilla extract, orange extract, and egg to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is mixed evenly.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
Fold in the white chocolate chips and orange zest.
Gently fold to distribute the mix-ins evenly without overworking the dough.
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on a non-greased baking sheet, flattening slightly.
Chill the dough for 15 minutes before shaping for easier handling.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Keep an eye on the cookies to avoid overbaking.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Cooling on the sheet helps the cookies set and prevents breaking.
