Orange creamsicle cookies are a fun take on one of my favorite flavors from childhood!

When I was a kid, there was nothing better on a hot summer day than an orange creamsicle bar.  I love the combination of orange and vanilla.  In fact, last week I was in San Diego with some girlfriends and we went to the local ice cream place and when I saw they had orange creamsicle ice cream on the menu, I knew what I was getting.  It was so good!!  I was really glad the scoops were huge!

So after spending a week away from my kitchen I was itching to do some baking.  I had orange creamsicle on my mind and decided to experiment with a few orange cookie recipes.

Orange Creamsicle Cookies

The combination of orange and white chocolate chips in a cookie is delicious, almost as good as an orange creamsicle.  The orange flavored cookie is light and refreshing and the addition of white chocolate chips just makes it even better.

How to Make Orange Creamsicle Cookies

  • These cookies use both orange extract which you can find in the baking aisle, and orange zest.  I use a micro planer to make my zest, it’s one of my favorite kitchen tools.
  • I always line my baking sheets with parchment paper and use my favorite large baking sheets. Having a good heavy cookie sheet can make a big difference in how your cookies bake and brown.
  • To make sure I get round, evenly shaped cookies I always use a cookie scoop.  I have several different sizes but this one is my favorite size for cookies.
  • Don’t over bake these cookies, you want them to just be slightly browned around the edges.

    Leigh Anne – I made these when my sons family was visiting at Christmas time. They all loved them. He is on vacation for 10 days before going back to Afganistan and he requested that I make these especially for him. Last deployment his unit voted on the best cookies I had made for them, he shares the cookies with his unit. I put those cookies in a family/history/recipes Storybook cookbook with the pictures of part of his unit. I made him these cookies today for a pre-cookie taste before he deploiys in April. My favorite things to make cookies with are a Kitchenaid Mixer, Cookie dough scooper and Parchment paper as I start out first thing in the morning with brownies and while they are baking I can get 3 to 4 batches of cookie dough ready to cook. I like to make, bake, vacuum pack and mail all in the same day. One time I didn’t put in brownies and one of his soldiers asked where were the brownies. Thanks so much for all the great recipes that I get from your site.

    I made a batch of these yesterday and brought them to my small group last night, thinking that my husband and I would still be left with half a batch or so to eat throughout the week. Wrong! They were completely devoured! I’ll definitely be making them again (though I might use fewer chocolate chips – I think 1 to 1 1/2 cups would be plenty). Thanks!

    I just tried this cookie recipe yesterday for a cookie exchange between some other gals at church and these cookies were amazing! I love ’em! They turned out soooo good. I can never get cookies to turnout very good but these turned out really good. Thank you for sharing this! They’re so yummy!

    Jenifer, Thanks for sharing them on your blog. I’ll have to have a Utah blog readers get together on one of my trips to Utah – that would be so fun. Probably won’t be back until April.

    Oh my goodness! This recipe sounds so divine. I’ve posted on my food blog and linked back to you. Let me know if that’s a problem. One day when you come to Utah, I’d love to meet you. I love your site.
