Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat a conventional oven to 375F or a convection to 350F.
2. Cream the room-temp butter and sugars together in a bowl. The mixture should be light and fluffy.
3. Add each egg one at a time, mixing well after adding.
4. Add the vanilla and juice from an orange. Mix well.
5. Add the flours, salt, baking soda and cinnamon to the
bowl and mix until the batter comes together.
6. Before adding the extras, mix the nuts, chocolate and zest well in a bowl. This ensures the orange zest is even distributed.
7. Add the extras (nuts, chocolate, zest) to the batter and mix in until it is evenly distributed.
8. Place tablespoon sized blobs of cookie dough on to a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
9. Bake for 10 to 11 minutes until the cookie is golden.
