Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe
I’m a cookie girl. I love them. And today I’m sharing one of my favorites. This Orange White Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe has been a family favorite for well over a decade!
If there is a table full of goodies– cupcakes, brownies, cookies, candy, and whatever else someone can dream up– I’ll go cookie every time. Probably several times.
Cookies are the perfect treat. They don’t require a fork or even a plate. Definitely no napkin if you eat them right. You can eat 3-4 cookies and no big deal. Eat 3-4 cupcakes and what are you, some kind of pig?? Geez, Oinky.
So today I share with you one of my favorite cookie recipes. It’s like eating an orange roll in cookie form…with a little white chocolate thrown in. Deeeeelish. And borderline fancy. People will be impressed, is what I’m saying.

By the way… as a seasoned veteran of the cookie making game, I have definitely decided on a few favorite items that I use pretty much every time I pull out the ingredients to make cookies! I’ve complied a list below with links to each item … do you have any favorites that I missed?
- Kitchenaid Mixer: The one should come as no surprise! And if you can get it in aqua, all the better! I can’t remember the last time I made cookies without it!
- Measuring Cups & Spoons: I love this set because of the odd cup and spoon sizes… 3/4 Cup? Yes! No more measuring 1/4 three times or worse, dirtying a 1/2 cup and a 1/4 cup!
- Spatula: Of course you need a spatula to get those cookies off the cookie sheet! I love this metal one with the slots to make it all that much easier to transfer.
- Silpat Baking Mat: No more need to “grease” a cookie sheet! Just lay this baby down on your cookie sheet and away you go. Nothing will stick to this.
- Cookie Scoop: What did I do before I had a cookie scoop? The easy way to get uniform cookies! I looooove my cookie scoop. I wish I were over-exaggerating here but I’m not.
- Cookie sheet: I love these heavy duty Nordic Ware ones! Mine have been perfectly “seasoned” over the years and they just seem to get better and better!
- Rubber/Silicone Spatulas: How else will you lick the bowl clean? This is a must-have tool to scrape down the sides of that bowl.

What does   mean in this recipe
Oops! Just a mistake. I took it out now. Sorry!
Hi ! What does 2 T. grated orange peel stand for ? Is it a tablespoon ? Thanks !
Oops my mistake, haha, Nevermind!
Would this dough freeze well?
I don’t know… I’ve never tried to freeze it. It seems like it would, however, because it’s very similar to chocolate chip cookie dough which does well. If you do freeze it let me know how it goes!
