Orange Creamsicle Cookies

Hey everyone! So I'll be the first to admit that with this beautiful sunny weather lately here in Vancouver it doesn't at all feel like Winter, more like late Spring.  So when my good friend Taryn challenged me to make these Orange Creamsicle cookies from my Pinterest board, I happily took on the task.  Nothing reminds me more of spring than running to the ice cream right after school and getting a Popsicle.  Now if I was lucky or had enough money I'd opt for an Orange Creamsicle or Cotton Candy bar.  Now these cookies are small, compact but melt in your mouth delicious (and pack quite the flavour!)

INGREDIENTS:

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour

3/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons orange zest (for me that was the zest of 2 oranges)

2 cups white chocolate chips

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

 

2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth.

4. Gradually add flour mixture until combined. Stir in orange zest and white chocolate chips.

5. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Do not flatten cookies; it will make them dry.

 

6. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown around edges. Do not overcook! Cookies will be plump. Cool for several minutes on cookie sheets before transferring to rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.

I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did and make sure to check out: http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/ for more really cool recipes!
