This cookie has made it into my top five favorite cookies. After I pulled them out of the oven, the aroma of orange zest filled the room. I let them cool slightly and began transferring them to a cooling rack. Of course I had to try a warm cookie — oh but there was no way I could stop at one. I will not admit how many I indulged in that evening, but it was enough to feed a small village. Kidding. I'm not a huge white chocolate fan but paired with orange, it's quite amazing.
Orange Creamsicle Cookies
from Baked Perfection, as seen on The Girl Who Ate Everything
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tbsp. orange zest (2 oranges)
2 cups white chocolate chips (or vanilla chips)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a small bowl, Combine flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and creamy.
Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture until combined. Stir in orange zest and chips.
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Do not flatten cookies; it will make them dry. 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 so have to make these, I'm printing them out now, thanks!
You're very welcome. You won't be disappointed!
I can't believe I missed out on these!
I keep seeing this recipe circling the blogs, but I continued to veer away from it because of the white chocolate chips. But I had a thought just now, what if I replace the white choco chips with vanilla chips? That might even add to the "creamsicle" taste :)
I didn't know there was a difference. The recipe actually calls for 2 cups Guitard Choc-Au-Lait Vanilla Chips.
I just picked up some white chocolate because I thought it was the same. I'll be on the lookout for vanilla chip next time. Thanks, Katherine!
i will try your recipe... look yummy !!
