Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| 2 | In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and grated orange rind. Mix well and set aside. |
| 3 | In a large bowl, blend the granulated sugar and brown sugar using an electric mixer at medium speed until well combined. |
| 4 | Add the melted margarine to the sugar mixture and beat well until fully combined. |
| 5 | Crack the egg into the sugar mixture, add the orange extract, and pour in the freshly squeezed orange juice. Beat the mixture well until everything is fully incorporated. |
| 6 | Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, blending just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. |
| 7 | Stir in the chopped dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed throughout the dough. |
| 8 | Using a tablespoon, drop the cookie dough onto foil-lined cookie sheets, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking. |
| 9 | Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned and the centers are set. |
| 10 | Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. |
