Orange Creamsicle Cookies

Remember those creamsicle popsicles we had as kids? This is those in cookie form.

**I have no idea if anyone is actually following this blog, but probably I won't be updating until late August due to travel and moving** 

Creamsicle Cookies
makes like 20ish
adapted from The Girl Who Ate Everything
Not gonna lie, her recipe is pretty much perfect, so I didn't actually modify the ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup of unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup of white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
zest of two good-sized oranges
2 cups white chocolate chips

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees
1. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars.  Add egg and vanilla until well mixed.  Mix in flour mixture.  Stir in zest and chips.
3. Drop balls of dough on a parchment paper'd cookie sheet somewhat spaced out.  Bake for 8-10 minutes, until just lightly browned.
