Reason #1: Duluth is on a hill, however, after receiving more than 9 inches within 12 hours on June 20, it flooded. We are very blessed to have very little damage to our house, however, we did get a foot of water in our basement...which means we had to haul everything outta there!
Reason #2: It's a hot summer! I haven't been cooking that much. Can you blame me? Pregnant, summer, and cooking are three tough things to combine. :)
Anyway, my love of food includes looking at food. Just looking at it. So beautiful. Naturally, I love looking through food magazines which is where I found this recipe. I love when they change much loved desserts into other forms of desserts. So fun!
Yield 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cup all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 Tablespoon grated orange peel
1 egg
1 cup white chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
2. In medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt.
3. In large bowl, cream butter, sugars, and zest with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg, mix well.
4. Add dry ingredients to butter mixture and mix well. Stir in white chocolate chips.
5. Drop dough by tablespoon onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes or until edges start to brown. Cool 3 minutes on pan and move to cooling rack.
6. Enjoy and think of the good ol' days of eating dreamsicles on the front porch. Or not, I didn't have a front porch or remember eating dreamsicles there, but it sounds like a good memory.
P.S. Isn't orange zest incredible? I can't believe how it can flavor things!
