Ingredients
  • Citrus Chocolate Chunk Cookies
  • Ingredients:
  • 1½ c. all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ c. unsalted butter, softened
  • ¼ c. brown sugar, packed
  • 1 c. granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp grated orange zest
  • Juice of ½ orange
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 6 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet dark chocolate, chopped (you can also use an orange infused chocolate bar)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment or Silipat. In a medium bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, and whisk; set aside.
  2. In bowl of stand mixer (or a bowl…with a hand mixer), combine butter and sugars and beat until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add yolk and beat until fully incorporated. Add orange juice, then zest and vanilla and beat until fully incorporated.
  3. Turn mixer to low speed, add flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Remove bowl from mixer, stir in cranberries, and place dough onto cookie sheets by heaping tablespoon.
  4. Place cookies in the oven and bake, switching baking sheet positions half way through baking time, for 12-14 minutes (they should not brown). Remove from oven and let cool on pans completely, about 10-15 minutes.
