These orange creamsicle cookies taste just like the favorite childhood treat—without having to chase down the ice cream truck.

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup sugar

2 large eggs, room temperature

1 medium orange, zested (about 4 teaspoons)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon orange extract

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 package (3.4 ounces) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 cups white baking chips

Instructions

1 Cream the butter and sugars

2 Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Beat in the eggs, orange zest and extracts.

3 Add the dry ingredients

4 In another bowl, whisk together the flour, pudding mix and baking soda. Gradually beat the dry ingredient mixture into the creamed mixture. Stir in the white baking chips.

5 Form and bake the cookies

6 Scoop the dough by 1/4 cupfuls and place them 2 inches apart onto greased or parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 15 to 17 minutes until the edges are golden brown. Remove the cookies from the baking sheets and cool them on wire racks.
