Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon orange extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, vegetable oil, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in egg, orange zest, orange juice, vanilla extract, and optional orange extract; mix until smooth.
  5. Gradually combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients; stir gently until just mixed.
  6. Fold in white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
