Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 teaspoons orange zest (from about 1 large orange)

2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/3 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

      Add Egg and Flavorings: Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and fresh orange juice until fully combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

          Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in the white chocolate chips gently.

            Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft, but they will firm up as they cool.

                Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Optional Dusting: Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Enjoy your delicious creamsicle orange cookies with a glass of milk or a refreshing drink!
