# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 -
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
03 -
Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice until fully combined.
04 -
In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
05 -
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the white chocolate chips gently.
06 -
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each cookie as they will spread while baking.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
08 -
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
09 -
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
