ORANGE CREAMSICLE COOKIES

Ahhh…summer is here. Do you remember those orange creamsicle popsicles as a kid? Well these taste just like them. Cookies with a hint of orange and creamy vanilla morsels.

The center of the cookie just melts in your mouth. Take some time out from doing your chores and make these instead. Don’t they just scream SUMMER!

You’ll need some orange zest for that orange flavor. I also add a little orange extract to the cookies to give them that extra pop of flavor.

I like to place some white chocolate chips on top so they look pretty.

These are the softest cookies in the world!
