  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
    • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars:
    • In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla:
    • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine Mixtures:
    • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in the orange zest and chocolate chips.
  6. Shape Cookies:
    • Drop rounded teaspoonfuls of dough onto ungreased cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Do not flatten the cookies, as this will lead to a drier texture.
  7. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Keep a close eye on them to avoid overbaking; the cookies should be plump.
  8. Cool:
    • Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for several minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Store:
    • Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
