Orange Creamsicle Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Orange Creamsicle Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give two cookie sheets a light greasing to ensure your cookies slide off easily later.

2. Step 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the white sugar and butter, then grab your electric mixer and beat them together until the mixture becomes creamy and smooth—this is where the magic begins! Next, add in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, orange extract, and a splash of food coloring for that vibrant touch.

3. Step 3

   Mix everything together until it’s beautifully blended.

4. Step 4

   Now, it’s time to gradually stir in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar.

5. Step 5

   Keep mixing until a delightful dough forms, and don’t forget to fold in those luscious white chocolate chips that will melt in your mouth.

6. Step 6

   Scoop out portions of the dough and roll them into balls, placing them on your prepared cookie sheets with enough space in between each one to allow for some spreading.

7. Step 7

   Pop the sheets into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 11 minutes, keeping an eye out for those lovely golden brown edges—overbaking is a cookie’s worst enemy! Once they’re ready, let the cookies cool on the sheets for a couple of minutes before transferring them to cooling racks, where they can cool completely.

8. Step 8

   Enjoy the sweet aroma filling your kitchen as you anticipate the deliciousness that awaits!.
