Ingredients
- 2 ¼ cups (281 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks / 227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange zest, about 1 medium orange
- 2 tablespoons orange juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups (336 g) white chocolate chips
- 1 cup (117 g) walnuts, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- To the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, add the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, orange zest, and orange juice. Mix on medium speed until light and fluffy (3-5 minutes), stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
- With the mixer on low, add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- To the butter and sugar mixture, add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just combined.
- With the mixer still on low, add the white chocolate chips and walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, drop the dough onto the lined baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
