Orange Creamsicle Cookies

Yep, these are absolutely AMAZING.

Look at the picture.
You drooled a little bit, right?

Well, don't be embarrassed... I did too.


Perfect tucked within a scoop of vanilla ice cream or simply with a glass of cold milk, these provide a refreshing addition to your "cookie enjoyment addiction".

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 firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange zest (approximately 2 small oranges)
2 cups Guitard Choc-Au-Lait Vanilla Chips (Or Ghirardelli white chips)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and 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.

Enjoy the amazing way your kitchen smells. Store cookies in airtight container. Tape container shut and try to refrain from eating them all as they are really incredible.
Seriously. Really. Incredible.
