Delicious Chocolate Orange Cookies Recipe for Sweet Lovers

Ingredients

Servings:
10
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

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

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated before baking.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

    Sifting the cocoa powder can help avoid lumps.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugars

    In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Egg and Flavorings

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

    Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.

    Do not overmix; a few flour streaks are okay.
  6. Shape the Cookies

    Drop tablespoon-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

    For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop.
  7. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set.

    Cookies will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
  8. Cool

    Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

    This helps them firm up.
