As this year will be our 14th or so annual Christmas Cookie Exchange & each guest attaches their a copy of their recipe to their packages of cookies, I have many, many cookie recipes from past exchanges! This was one that really stood out in 1995.

White Chip Orange Divine Cookies

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 cups (12 oz.) white chocolate chips
1/2 cup granulated white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 Tablespoon minced orange zest

Additional white chocolate chips, melted with 3/4 teaspoon orange extract for dipping cookies, if desired

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Combine flour, soda & salt in small bowl & set aside. Cream butter with sugar. Add egg & orange zest. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in white chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded Tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees F. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.If desired, dip one edge of each cooled cookie into additional melted white chocolate chips if desired.

Ann, enjoy the exchange, we always have a blast!
