Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Beat on low speed until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until flour is no longer visible, about 30 seconds.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chunks evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Scoop rounded portions of dough onto lined baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until golden around the edges and soft in the center.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Use fresh orange zest for the best flavor, and don't overmix the dough to maintain tenderness. Store in an airtight container to keep them soft.
