Creamsicle Cookies

These Orange Creamsicle Cookies are a HUGE hit at my house! A light orange flavor with white chocolate chips, makes a perfectly chewy cookie! Creamsicle cookies are a sweet and easy substitute for the popular popsicle.

My husband has been watching these shows lately about people who are preparing for the end of the world.

Doomsday Preppers.

Are you familiar?

They have like whole secret bunkers built underground filled with loads of canned food and cots and stuff.

Which, of course, got my husband thinking about what we would need to survive in case there is a disaster of epic proportions.

We don’t currently have any large cans of beans or dried food in our pantry.  We have no weaponry to shoot looters or zombies.  And we certainly don’t have a seed collection to repopulate the earth’s vegetation.

What we DO have is a rather expansive collection of nail polish, food photo props and People magazines.

I’m thinking I’m dead meat.

Here’s the thing, though.  If the world is dunzo, I’m pretty sure I would be fine going down with it.  I mean, there would be no internet, no television..no ELECTRICITY!  I lost power for a week last year when a hurricane came through and I have to say without power there’s not much to live for.

Plus, beans aren’t my jam, so if the zombies didn’t kill me I would inevitably die of starvation.

What currently IS my jam are these cookies.

They’re good stuff.

Make ’em and eat ’em and don’t worry, be happy.

Start with oranges.  I’m doing fruit again.  Maybe the world IS ending?!

How to Bake Orange Creamsicle Cookies:

  1. These were loved! Thank you for this recipe. A note to others: I took the first batch out too soon, I think, they were only just starting to get brown around the edges. That batch was still delicious, but very crumbly the next day.
