Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup orange preserves or jam

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, orange extract, and orange zest until well combined.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
  • Use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Create a small indentation in the center of each cookie with the back of a spoon and fill it with a small spoonful of orange preserves.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

How to Serve White Chocolate Creamsicle Orange Cookies

These cookies are wonderful on their own but also great served with a glass of milk or a cup of tea. You can sprinkle a little extra orange zest on top for a pop of color and extra flavor.

How to Store White Chocolate Creamsicle Orange Cookies

To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for about a week, but they might not last that long because they are so delicious!

Tips to Make White Chocolate Creamsicle Orange Cookies

    • Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
    • Don’t overmix the dough; it should be just combined to keep the cookies soft.
    • Use good quality white chocolate chips for extra creaminess.

Variation

You can swap the orange preserves for lemon or raspberry preserves for a different fruity twist. You can also add chopped nuts for added crunch!
