Orange Creamsicle Cookies
These cookies capture the bright citrus flavor of a classic creamsicle. Soft, sweet, and topped with tangy orange glaze, they are a delightful treat.
Ingredients
For The Cookie Dough
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, Softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tbsp Orange Zest
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 tsp Orange Extract
- 1 3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Fine Salt
- 3/4 cup White Chocolate Chips
For The Orange Glaze
- 3/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 1/2 tbsp Fresh Orange Juice
- 1 tbsp Heavy Cream
- 1/2 tsp Orange Zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Rub the granulated sugar and orange zest together until fragrant. Beat this orange sugar with the butter until light and creamy.
- Mix the egg, vanilla, and orange extract into the butter mixture. Add the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt, then mix just until a soft dough forms.
- Fold the white chocolate chips into the dough. Divide the dough into 12 portions and arrange them at least 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look soft. Cool the cookies completely on a cooling rack.
- Whisk the powdered sugar, orange juice, heavy cream, and orange zest until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set for 20 minutes.
