In a large bowl, break the egg and add the sugar. Mix vigorously with a hand whisk. Pour in the sunflower oil, milk, and orange aroma. Stir until you get a homogeneous mixture.

To form the cookies, use an ice cream scoop: this way you get perfect balls, all the same size.
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly.
Sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar.
Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.

If you want more rustic cookies, try replacing half all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
The chocolate chips can be dark, milk, or even white for variety.
