Tangerine and thyme chocolate chip cookies
- Share via
The tangerine has a mild and sweet citrus flavor that is not as bright or prominent as lemon or orange zest, so it doesn’t overpower the thyme. This gives the cookie a soft balance of chocolate and citrus with the fresh earthiness of the thyme peeking through.

Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl using an electric mixer, beat together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes.
With the mixer running, add the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Beat in the tangerine zest, thyme and vanilla.
Slowly beat the dry ingredients into the butter mixture. Continue mixing until evenly combined to form a dough.
Gently fold the chocolate chips into the dough using a wooden spoon or spatula.
Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto a greased baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies are set and the edges are golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
