For a more intense orange flavor, add the zest of one orange to the dough. If you don't have cream of tartar, you can substitute it with an equal amount of lemon juice or white vinegar. Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes) Lightly grease two baking sheets or line them with parchment paper.
02
Step
5 mins
In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy. (3-5 minutes)
03
Step
2 mins
Beat in the egg yolks, vanilla extract, and orange extract until well combined. If desired, add the yellow and red food coloring, mixing until the dough reaches your desired creamsicle hue. (1-2 minutes)
04
Step
3 mins
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and cream of tartar. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (2-3 minutes)
05
Step
1 mins
Fold in the white chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough. (1 minute)
06
Step
7 mins
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving some space between each cookie. (5-7 minutes)
07
Step
12 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; the centers should remain slightly soft. (10-12 minutes)
08
Step
3 mins
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. (2-3 minutes)

May 25, 2025The cookies came out a little flat for me. I think I might have overmixed the dough. Still delicious, though!
