Holiday Baking

With the holidays only two weeks away, it's time to get our bake on! Q and I tried this recipe last week. They were so good, we decided to bake them again for an upcoming holiday party!

White Chocolate Orange Cookies

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 tablespoon orange zest

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups white chocolate chips

1 cup chopped walnuts

 

Preheat oven to 350F. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and orange zest. Stir the flour, baking soda, and salt together; mix into the creamed mixture. Stir in the white chocolate chips and chopped walnuts.

Drop tablespoonfuls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cook completely. Makes at least 3 dozen cookies.

Well, there you have it folks. Q and I tried at least one new recipe every month in 2010. Perhaps we should do the same for 2011?
