2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 firmly packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons orange zest (for me that was the zest of 2 oranges)
2 cups white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture until combined. Stir in orange zest and white chocolate chips.
Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Do not flatten cookies; it will make them dry. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown around edges. Do not overcook! Cookies will be plump. Cool for several minutes on cookie sheets before transferring to rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.

WTF???!!!! Hold the phone. I could never have imagined a creamsicle merging with a cookie, but I'll damned if this isn't genius. So excited. The only thing missing is the ice cream truck bell:( Bless you lady.
Traci made these when we were visiting her and they were so good. Jaxon was just asking me for them today. I was actually surprised he even remembered them.
Wow! This is great!! Your cookies have a lovely color.
chunky, soft and FABULOUS i'm sure.
Can you use orange extract?
@Alanya/Ally,
I'm sure you could use orange extract. I love the little flecks of orange zest sprinkled through. I've done it before with about around a teaspoon or more of orange extract. You might have to add more to your taste.

These sound so good! I saw these back on Baked Perfection as well, but forgot about them! Thanks for the new obsession ;)
Oh, Wow! I think I'm in love. I will be making these very very soon---adding oranges to the shopping list asap!
Thanks for sharing :)
i love all things creamsicle, but never thought of having it as a cookie. can't wait to try this!
I used to love creamsicles!! A creamsicle cookie is such a great idea!
I loved those popsicles! Cookies that taste like that would be awesome :)
Yum! I can't wait to try them!
These are sooooo good. I saw them yesterday on Tastespotting and had to make them right away. They do taste like Creamsicles! Thanks for sharing an awesome recipe, Betty
I made these today.....AMAZING! I did have to pat mine SLIGHTLY with the back of a spoon before baking, but SERIOUSLY...AWESOME! I am bringing them for a BBQ tomorrow so I am excited to get feedback!
Love your blog, THANKS so much! It is one of my top "go to's" for recipes!
Yum! Creamsicles were, like, the only popsicles I ever wanted. These cookies sound incredible!
They're so sunny and fresh looking!
My mom would love these!
Awesome! "Light, fluffy, creamy..fantastic"- a direct quote from my husband!
And I have to agree..these are a new favorite in this house. Thanks!

I made these last night, and they are AMAZING. Everyone at work loved them, too. Thanks for the recipe!
I made these for a baby shower today, they were a huge hit. I made the last few cookies with some lemon zest added in with the orange zest, and I think I liked it better! They are so yummy!
I'm looking for a recipe I thought I saw on your site. It used Crescent rolls, shrimp, cocktail sause for sure. And I think cream cheese. Anyone know about anything similar. They were served whole. Jill
@bullockjill,
I don't have that recipe with shrimp on here but it sounds yummy!
I made them and very are super-extra yummy!
I ate 12 all by myself... and in 20 minutes. Where were you self-control!!!! These are dangerously tasty. I will never make them again when I am alone. EVERYONE who has tried these has asked for the recipe!
Hi Christy,
I've been eying these cookies for awhile and my sis-in-law and I just made them. They are sooo good! All the kids were begging for more. Thanks for a change-up to the normal choc chip cookie!
Allison
These cookies are delicious. The first time I made them, I followed the recipe. The second time I substituted orange extract for the vanilla and chocolate chips for the white chips. YUMMY!!!!!
I made these for a baby shower favor and everyone loved them. Thanks for the recipe.
Christy, I finally made these - though (you're not going to believe this), I thought I had oranges and midway through making the cookie dough, realized I was out! Arg. Well, I ended up with delicious vanilla cookies, but I will be making these again... WITH the orange next time. Thanks, Christy!!
I posted these on Weekend Blog Showcase. Thank you again!
I baked these, substituting Splenda for the white sugar, egg beaters for the egg and cutting the chips in half, and they came out GREAT! I got 43 cookies out of a batch so each was 90 calories, 41g sodium and 10 carbs. A little healthier and still yummy!!
Made these to sell at our cookie stand last week, they were the first ones to go! Everyone raved! Thank you!
Made these for a Mom's Night Out shindig I went to last night and they are SOO good! Everyone who tried them loved 'em!! I throughly enjoyed them too. Wanted to know if anybody's added juice of the orange or orange extract to make them taste even more orange-y??? If so, how did it work? I thought adding some juice may be good....
I made these the other day, and they were incredibly delicious! I thought it was just going to be a fun, basic cookie, but they exceeded my expectations! I can't stop snacking on them! I shared them on my blog with a link back to you - thanks for sharing the recipe!

Mmmmm...they look delish!

oh these look wonderful...must try them....i am a new follower...led here from fb.....
love your blog and the name of it, too ! vert ckever
These are wonderful! I ended up using 3 small/med oranges of zest and I think it may have been a little too much. They got rave reviews at a church cookie reception. They're a great alternative to all the chocolate at peanut butter desserts.
Made these today after finding on Pinterst. Delicious! Thank you and can't wait to try more of your recipes!
Made these last night. Doubled the orange zest. Absolutle perfection. Thank you for a fantastic recipe.
@Melissa, So glad you liked them. Don't you love the texture?
