Orange-Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cookies

I developed this recipe after years of searching for a chocolate chip cookie that would stand out from all others. Orange and cinnamon are tasty additions.

18 ServingsPrep: 15 min. + chilling Bake: 15 min./batch

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat
in the eggs, orange peel and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking
soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to the creamed mixture and
mix well. Stir in the chips and walnuts. Cover and chill for 2 hours
or until easy to handle.
On lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut
with a lightly floured 3-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart
on greased baking sheets.
Bake at 375° for 12-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove
