Citrus Chocolate Chip Cookies
Ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the desired temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit or 175 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, take a moment to prepare your baking surfaces by lightly coating them with a non-stick cooking spray or butter.
3
In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients of flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift these together to ensure they are well incorporated before setting them aside for the time being.
4
Turn your attention to a large mixing bowl where you will cream together butter, sugars, orange zest, and vanilla extract until they reach a light and fluffy consistency.
5
Now, add eggs one at a time to the bowl, ensuring each egg is well incorporated before adding the next. This will help create a smooth and even mixture.
6
Once you have added all of the eggs, it's time to incorporate the dry ingredients into your mixture. Use a gentle stirring motion until they are fully combined.
7
Next, add chocolate chips and pecans to your mixture. Use a gentle stirring motion until they are well blended into the dough.
8
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop rounded portions of the dough onto your prepared baking surfaces. Leave about 2 inches between each cookie to allow for proper spreading during the baking process.
9
Place your cookies in the preheated oven and bake until they reach a golden brown color, approximately 15 minutes.
10
Once the cookies are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a brief period of time on the baking surfaces or transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
