Drink & Dish: Orange Creamsicle Cookies

July 14, 2013 · by Ari ·

Orange Creamsicle Cookies

When I was a little girl, my brother’s mom (yeah, my family is hard to explain…she’s not my mom, or my step mom…) always kept the creamsicle ice cream in the house. You know, the swirl between the orange sorbet, and vanilla ice cream? The one that is 100x superior to just the bar with the ice cream on the inside? She always had it, and I always finished it. She probably never got more than a bowl full, and I didn’t even live there.

There is something so refreshing about the bright, citrusy, orange flavor against the smooth and creamy vanilla that is just about perfect in every way. Great on their own, better together.

Orange Creamsicle Cookies

I’m a little obsessed with stuffing cookies. I mean, I love a good chocolate chip cookie, but it is almost always better if all of the chocolate (or white chocolate as the case may be) is contained to the center, so that when you bite into the cookies you have the same experience as, say, a jelly-filled donut. And if you don’ know it’s in there, you get an AWESOME SURPRISE!!

These creamsicle cookies are dangerously addictive. The cookie is soft and chewy, and the white chocolate filling stays perfectly creamy, even after the cookies have cooled. In fact, these are a rare cookie case when they taste BETTER after cooling completely. They come out slightly underdone, and need about a full hour after that to set, and cool completely. I mean, I was impatient, and I still loved them right out of the oven, but it wasn’t until I had one the next day that I fell deeply, deeply in love. In fact, the second batch didn’t even make it past the filming day. They were that good.

Cookie stuffing can be one of those things that no matter how well you try to describe it, it’s better just to see it in action, so Nicole and I are bringing you an awesome summer episode of drink and dish! Be sure to check out her recipe for her delicious rum punch!

Orange Creamsicle Cupcakes

Perhaps you are lucky to live somewhere that it has not yet reached 100 degree temperatures. If so, talk to me in December 😉

Because it is already nearing oppressively hot here in Phoenix, I figured it’s only a matter of time before I stock up on sugar free creamsicles and start eating about 10 a day. That’s not a joke. Lisa, how much do we love sugar free popsicles? Well, these may have more than the 20 calories that sugar free creamsicles contain (wouldn’t it be awesome if the didn’t!!), but they are ridiculously delicious, and that’s more important, right? 😉

I love when cupcakes get that perfect dome top. It makes me so happy! Ahhh, the little things.

I was surprised at how perfectly the orange and cream flavors of one of my favorite frozen treats translated into a cupcake. I am a total ice cream person, but I might even dare to say I like the cupcake version better!

To view the recipe head on over to the AZ Bloggers Network!! If you haven’t checked it out yet, we are so lucky to have an incredible group of female bloggers here in Arizona, and my lovely friends Nicole and Emily, have put a ton of work into creating a network where we can all communicate and collaborate together!
