Soft and Chewy Orange Creamsicle Cookies made with fresh orange zest and juice and white chocolate chips. This Orange White Chocolate Cookie recipe is the perfect orange cookie.
When I first started on Modern Honey, I shared a soft and chewy lemon sugar cookie that gained popularity fast. I found my lemon lovers and started sharing more and more citrus recipes.
My husband picked hundreds and hundreds of fresh oranges from my parent's orange trees so we are busting at the seams with oranges! I wanted to create a cookie that highlights fresh oranges, using both the orange zest and juice to bring out the true orange flavor.
This soft and chewy orange white chocolate cookie was born. It has just the perfect amount of orange flavor with creamy white chocolate which pairs perfectly with oranges.
Orange Cookie Ingredients:
- Butter
- Brown Sugar
- Sugar
- Egg
- Orange Zest
- Orange Juice
- Flour
- Baking Soda
- Salt
- White Chocolate Chips -- I suggest Guittard or Ghirardelli white chocolate chips. You can also chop up a white chocolate bar.
- Orange Food Coloring and Extract (optional)
How to make Homemade Orange Cookies:
- Start by creaming together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar until light and fluffy. This creates a smooth cookie dough which helps to create a tender textured cookie.
- Add in egg, fresh orange zest, and orange juice. If you want extra orange flavor, add extra zest and even orange extract. If you want them to have a bright orange color, add in some orange food coloring to the dough.
- Fold in flour, baking soda, and salt. Don't overmix or it will create too much gluten in the dough and you will end up with tough cookies!
- Fold in white chocolate chips. Reserve ¼ cup of white chocolate chips for placing on the cookies as soon as they come out of the oven.
- Bake on a light-colored baking sheet. Don't overbake as the cookies will continue to bake once you remove them from the oven.
