Time 45m

Yield 36

Number Of Ingredients 11

¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup butter
½ cup butter-flavored shortening
2 teaspoons Mexican vanilla extract
1 orange, zested and juiced
2 eggs
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups dark chocolate chips (such as Hershey's®)

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might have needed to add more butter.

I had some trouble getting the cookies to spread out in the oven. I think I might have needed to grease the baking sheet more.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
