Who doesn't like an orange creamsicle? Please there is something about vanilla and orange that just makes me think of summer...and brings happiness to my heart. You know, I've been told to not get too creative with the cookies until I use up some of those chips falling out of my cabinet. So I went searching for something, not listed on the back of the chip bag and I stumbled upon this recipe. Everyone who has tried one (had to try two) absolutely LOVED these cookies.
Recipe comes from the Nestle website.
Ingredients
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
2 to 3 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Premier White Morsels
Directions
PREHEAT oven to 350° F.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large mixer bowl until creamy. Beat in egg and orange peel. Gradually beat in flour mixture.
Look at those naked oranges! Always remember that the pith is very bitter..so go lightly on your grater when grating oranges or lemons..you just want the skins not the white underneath.
Stir in morsels. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets.
BAKE for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.
That is all there is to it! What are you waiting for? Do you have chips falling out of your cabinet too? If not go get some and get baking! Thanks for stopping by the kitchen...next time I'll be sharing some of my "must haves" tools of the trade!
