Instructions:

Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly. -
Prepare Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter (softened), sugar, vanilla extract, egg, orange-flavored drink mix (like Kool-Aid), and orange food coloring (if using). Beat the mixture until creamy and well combined. -
Combine Dry Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined. -
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. -
Add Chocolate Chips:
Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough. -
Form Cookie Dough Balls:
Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie for spreading during baking. -
Bake Cookies:
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. -
Cool and Enjoy:
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, serve and enjoy these delightful Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies!
These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for several days, although they are likely to be enjoyed so much that they may not last that long! So whip up a batch today and treat yourself and your loved ones to a burst of citrusy sweetness combined with the richness of chocolate in every bite! 🍊🍫
