Ingredients Needed For Our Orange Creamsicle Cookies:

All-purpose flour
Baking soda
Salt
Butter
Sugar
Brown sugar
Egg
Vanilla extract
Orange zest
White chocolate chips

How To Make Our Orange Creamsicle Cookies:

Begin making these delicious creamsicle cookies by preheating the oven to 375 degrees.

Then in a small mixing bowl combine together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set these aside to use later.

Now, in a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and butter until they are nice and smooth.

Then add in the egg and vanilla extract and continue mixing everything together until they are completely incorporated.

Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients (aka the sugar and butter mixture).

Once all of the flour mixture has been added, stir in the orange zest and the white chocolate chips.

Now, use a spoon and drop the cookie dough by the spoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet.

NOTE: There is no need to flatten these cookies as they will spread a tiny bit on their own, but most importantly flattening them will dry the cookies out.

Then, place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven, and let the cookies bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown.

Be careful to not over cook the cookies. They will not spread out as much as normal cookies, they will remain pretty plump.

When the cookies are done, pull them out of the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes and then move them to a cooling rack to allow the cookies to cool off completely.

Then, store whatever cookies you don’t eat in an airtight container.

Warning: You might not need the container. 😉

Ann Marie says:

Can't wait to try this! I know this may seem like a silly question, but when you say "1/2 firmly packed brown sugar," do you mean 1/2 of a box or there a "cup" missing? Thanks!
Six Sisters says:

Sorry about that! I fixed it to say "cup." Thanks!
Kelly says:

We love orange creamsicles around here, definitely trying these. Great idea! -Kelly @ Semi Homemade Mom
Ambreen says:

Wow, looks so delicious. It made my mouth water :)
elizabeth hughes says:

Just made these they are delicious! Thank you
Debra Kapellakis says:

YUM!
CassandraLea says:

I made these last night and brought them to work. My fiance about wouldn't let me take them out of the house! The vultures, I mean coworkers, have devoured them today- I just went to look and there were 4 left.
I found that just 2 oranges' zest wasn't enough for me, so I zested 4 oranges and squeezed one orange into the batter. I didn't add quite enough flour to thicken it back up, so the cookies spread out a lot and looked funny, but they were still delicious!
Barb says:

These do sound good. I've been making this type of cookie for years & instead of the white chocolate chips I use a 1/2 bag of melted marshmallows for the "cream" taste. I think it's closer to what you're looking for as that was my favorite as a kid too.
Liz says:

Just made these and they are SO YUMMY!
Ann Marie says:

Finally got around to making these last night and holy smokes, they are delicious! DELICIOUS!
Kelly says:

Made these and they were awesome and delicious!
Joan says:

My son asked me to find a creamsickle cookie recipe and make some because he tried one in his MRE at basic training and loved it. I've never even heard of them before, so I'm curious to try it!
Heather Jones says:

Approximately how many cookies does this make at reccomended teaspoon size? I need to make 72
Cyd says:

This batch will make about 36 cookies. So you may want to make 2 batches to get about 72 cookies.
Amanda says:

These were so good! I added 2 tablespoons of orange juice from the oranges since I always have to add liquid to my cookies anyway with the high altitude. Came out perfectly. So glad I found this recipe
Momma Cyd says:

Adding orange juice sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing.
V says:

I've been using this recipe for a couple years now and despite me making probably a hundred different things since then- my family will always bring up these cookies. They're always a big hit. I will say they will easily burn so make sure you're on top of them when baking!
Darlene Ernst says:

Can the dough be frozen ahead of time?
Momma Cyd says:

Yes, just thaw before baking.
Susan J. says:

Do you use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe? Thanks!
Momma Cyd says:

If you use salted butter, you could probably cut back on the salt that the recipe calls for. But we often use unsalted butter in our cookies. But if you only have salted butter on hand, it will still be great!
