Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Gather all the ingredients to ensure a smooth baking process.
-
Cream Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and well combined.
-
Add Egg and Orange Zest:
- Once the mixture is creamy, add in the egg and orange zest. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. The aroma of fresh oranges will start to fill your kitchen!
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until a soft dough forms.
-
Fold in White Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the white chocolate chips into the dough. The combination of orange and white chocolate creates a heavenly flavor profile.
-
Form Cookies:
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Make sure to space them out, allowing room for the cookies to spread while baking.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The aroma wafting from the oven will be irresistible!
-
Cool and Enjoy:
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for a couple of minutes. This allows them to set.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. The anticipation builds as you wait for them to cool, but trust us, it’s worth it!
-
Serve and Share:
- Once cooled, these Orange Dream Cookies are ready to be devoured! Serve them with a tall glass of milk, a cup of hot tea, or simply enjoy them on their own.
- Share these delightful treats with family and friends. They make wonderful gifts and are sure to put a smile on everyone’s face!
