2/3 cup butter, softened 

2/3 cup shortening

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tsp vanilla extract 

1-tsp-orange extract 

3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp salt

1-1/2-c-white chocolate chips

1-1/2-c-orange cream M&M’s

 I like to make these and scoop them out and refrigerate them overnight.  You don’t have to, I just think they taste better.  When ready to bake, Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine flour, soda and salt and set aside. In the bowl of your mixer cream together the butter, shortening and both sugars. Add eggs, vanilla and orange extract and beat until light and fluffy.  With mixer on low, add flour mixture a little at a time until fully combined.  Add chocolate chips and M&M’s and mix with wooden spoon until throughly combined. With a medium cookie scoop, scoop out dough and place on cookie sheets 2 inches apart.  Place in preheated oven and bake 12-14 minutes until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.  Let cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes and then move to cooling rack until cooled completely.  Keep in airtight container for about 5 days, if they last that long.  Enjoy!!! Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
