Orange Chocolate Chunk Cookies
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 heaping teaspoon grated orange peel
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cup butter, room temperature
2 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure orange extract
1 1/2 cups, 8 ounces, semisweet chocolate coarsely chopped
In medium bowl, combine flour, soda, salt and orange peel.
In mixing bowl, blend sugars at medium speed. Add butter and mix until a grainy paste. Add eggs and extract and beat until light and fluffy, scraping sides of mixing bowl as necessary.
At low speed, add flour mixture and chocolate to butter/sugar mixture. Mix until just combined, do not over mix.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake in 300 degree oven for 24-26 minutes or until cookies start to brown around the edges. Do not bother allowing to cool before enjoying.

Great recipe. You also remind me to think twice before tossing juicy orange peel like I did this morning. There are bettet uses. Thank you!
