Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 tablespoon orange zest (freshly grated)

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup orange-flavored candy (like gummy candies or orange marmalade)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butters and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

      Add Eggs and Flavoring: Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and orange zest, mixing well to combine.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing until just incorporated.

          Incorporate Mix-ins: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips and orange-flavored candy until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Shape the Cookies: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie as they will spread while baking.

              Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops have set. Cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center; they will firm up as they cool.

                Cool Down: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve and Enjoy: Once cooled, enjoy your delicious creamsicle orange cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of tea!
