Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies

These are some cookies that I made for the farewell that some of you wanted the recipe for.  I found this yummy recipe on www.dealstomeals.com.  You can check their web sight for pictures, since I didn't get any pics of these.  The dough is really tasty, so good luck having any left to stick in the oven!

1 c. butter

8 oz. cream cheese
1 c. plus 2 T. white sugar

2 eggs

2 t. fresh squeezed orange juice (juice from 1/2 an orange)

1 t. vanilla

zest of 2 oranges

2 1/2 c. flour

1 t. salt

12 oz. bag of milk chocolate chips

Cream butter, cream cheese, sugar, and eggs with an electric mixer and beat until smooth.  Add all other ingredients except for chocolate chips.  Blend well, then fold in chocolate chips.  Dough will be pretty sticky.  Spoon golf ball sized balls of dough onto greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes.  Don't over bake, they are better soft!  Pour yourself a cold glass of milk, and enjoy!
