I love orange creamsicles..I could eat a whole box. So, I was thinking, maybe I should try to make a cookie that reminds me of them. Here is what I came up with.
1 Cup (2 sticks) of soft butter
1 Cup powder sugar
cream together
Use 2 small oranges - zest and juice
Add to creamed mixture along with
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange oil
Add
2 1/2 Cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
Mix well. The dough will be soft. Place dough on piece of parchment paper and roll like a log. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
When ready to bake - preheat oven to 350. Slice into 1/4" slabs. Bake 12-15 minutes till lightly brown on edges.
I love the zest flecks...
Once the cookies are cool - you can add the frosting. I just melted some white chocolate chips in the microwave, spread on the cookie and sprinkled with sanding sugar.
These are soft cookies that pack a citrus punch.
