Nutella Orange Cookies with White Chocolate Chips

Last night, I got to go to Wrigley Field for a cubs game! The cubs didn't fare so well, but A.J. Burnett from the Pirates almost pitched a no-hitter! It was a very exciting game enhanced by an amazing dinner beforehand at DMK Burger Bar and a fantastic little treat during, ice cream in a souvenir pink helmet!

I have so many fun things going on this week! And, just to make things even better, I whipped up a batch of some of my favorite cookies.  One bite of these cookies and you will have a party of flavors raging in your mouth.  I'm not kidding.

1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 and line some baking sheets with silpat or parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.  Beat in the nutella until well combined.  Beat in the eggs, one at a time until well combined.  Beat in the vanilla and orange zest.  Slowly incorporate the flour mixture until just combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips.
