Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
• ½ cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• zest from one medium orange (about 1 teaspoon); or about 4 drops orange extract
• 1 cup rolled oats
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons milk
• ¼ cup white chocolate chips
• ¼ cup dark or milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon neutral oil (such as canola or vegetable), divided

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, vanilla, and orange zest/extract and cream on high with a hand mixer for about 2 minutes.
• Add the salt and flour and mix with a spoon until combined.
• Add milk and mix with a spoon until combined.
• Stir in the oatmeal. Let mixture rest for a couple of minutes before scooping. It will be creamy and a little sticky.
• Line your cookie sheets with a silicone mat or parchment paper. (Alternatively, I used a non-stick baking sheet with a spray of oil and that worked fine.)
• Drop dough by the teaspoonful (yes, you heard me, TEASPOON - very small) onto prepared cookie sheets. If you are going this size you can fit about 8 per sheet. If going a little bigger, go 6 per sheet so they wont combine.
• Bake for 7 to 8 minutes, watching closely (they can overcook quickly if youre not paying attention). They will start to turn dark brown around the edges. Rotate halfway through, if desired, to promote even baking.
• Let cookies cool about 4 minutes before you try to remove them from the cookie sheet as they need to harden to stay together well.
• Carefully remove cookies and place on waxed paper.
• Get two microwave-safe bowls or small saucepans.
• Heat the white and dark/milk chocolate in the respective bowls. Add ½ teaspoon neutral oil to each for easier decorating. If microwaving, follow instructions on bag (usually 15-30 second increments at 50% power). If stove top, warm over low heat.
• Dip a fork in chocolate and then lightly streak chocolate over cookies.
• (If youd like you can sprinkle/grate additional orange zest over cookies).
• Let stand until chocolate is set.
• Enjoy!
