Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- ⅔ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup granulated sugar optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugars.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and orange zest and mix well.
- Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt on top of the butter. Give them a little mix. (This saves the step of mixing them in a separate bowl).
- Now, mix the dry ingredients in just until they are incorporated. Stop as soon as they are mixed in.
- Using a medium cookie scoop drop balls of dough on the prepared trays.
- Optional: Roll each dough ball lightly in the sugar before placing it on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until barely set. The center should still be a bit shiny.
- Remove from the oven.
- Let cool on the baking sheets.
