Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tablespoon fresh orange juice

Zest of 1 large orange

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

      Beat in the egg, fresh orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

          Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and, if using, white chocolate chips.

            Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown, but the centers are still soft.

                Remove from the oven and allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
