MDBD - Orange Creamsicle Cookies

This MDBD was the last one I did before we took a brief hiatus from new recipes in order to make cookies for our Christmas trays. This recipe for Orange Creamsicle Cookies from The Girl Who Ate Everything was so good that I ended up including these cookies in our Christmas cookie trays.

2. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until smooth. Gradually add flour mixture until combined. Stir in orange zest and white chocolate chips.
4. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Do not flatten cookies; it will make them dry. Bake 8 - 10 minutes or until golden brown around edges. Do not overcook! Cookies will be plump. Cool for several minutes on cookie sheets before transferring to rack to cool completely. Store in airtight container.
