Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract, orange juice, and orange zest until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix into the wet ingredients until just combined.
If desired, fold in white chocolate chips.
Scoop dough onto prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
