Ingredients:
- 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orange zest from 2 oranges
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup orange juice
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup orange candy melts for drizzling
- Orange food coloring optional
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar for glaze
- 2-3 tablespoons milk for glaze
- Rainbow sprinkles optional
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350F 175C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition
Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the orange juice, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients
Mix until just combined
Fold in the white chocolate chips
If desired, add a few drops of orange food coloring to enhance the orange color of the dough
Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden
Be careful not to overbake
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange candy melts in 20-second intervals until smooth
Drizzle the melted candy over the cooled cookies and add rainbow sprinkles if desired
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make a glaze
Drizzle the glaze over the cookies for an extra touch of sweetness
Allow the glaze to set before serving these delightful Orange Creamsicle Cookies
