Dark Chocolate Orange Cookies

steps

1. Macerate the oranges. Place the fruit and liqueur in a container with a lid and let sit about 1 hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the zest and extract.
5. In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Stir in the chocolate chips and the macerated orange.
7. Scoop 1/4 cup of the dough into domes using a measuring cup or ice cream scoop and place on the pan, leaving room for spreading.
8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still appear slightly undercooked, but they will firm up as they cool.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
