| Cream Cheese Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies |
|
The
Old Monterey Inn in Monterey is a luxurious
award-winning bed & breakfast known for being a
perfect romantic rendezvous destination.
Perfectly situated near the coastline and the famous
Pebble Beach, the inn is walkable to downtown
Monterey, Fisherman's Wharf and many seaside
attractions. And after a day of fun on the coast, a
fresh-baked cookie is the perfect ending. Here is the
inn's
recipe for a sweet treat anytime.
Ingredients:
- 3 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup grated orange zest
- Juice from one orange
- 3 TSP orange liqueur
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tsp baking soda
- 2 cups chocolate chips
- 1 TBS dried orange peel, chopped
In a large bowl, cream together cream cheese, butter
and sugar. Beat in vanilla and eggs; mix thoroughly.
Add orange zest, orange juice and orange liqueur and
mix until fully incorporated. In a small bowl, combine
flour, salt and baking soda. Add flour mixture to cream
mixture 2 cups at a time and mix well.
Stir in chocolate chips and orange peel. Cover and
refrigerate dough until it hardens a bit, about 30
minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop dough by the
heaping tablespoons, 2-inches apart, onto greased
cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until cookies
are
golden brown around the edges. Cool on cookie
sheet
3-4 minutes then transfer to a wire rack until cold.
(Store in zip-lock bags or cookie jar, if they last that
long!)
Note: Dough freezes well and recipe can be easily
doubled for larger batch.
