Orange Creamsicle Cookies

Who's ready for Spring?  I know I am.  Winter is still sticking around here, but when I was munching on these beauties, I felt like Spring was just around the corner. What a perfect treat to beat the winter blues!  These cookies are packed with orange zest and white chocolate chips, making them quite similar in taste to a creamsicle.  In my opinion, orange and vanilla are a match made in Heaven!  Also, I think that these cookies (and pretty much all cookies) are best warm out of the oven, but they were still delicious the next day.  After that, well I really can't say, because none of ours lasted that long.










Orange Creamsicle Cookies
modified from Baked Perfection

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tsp vanilla
2 eggs
2 TBSP orange zest, from about 3 oranges
3 cups flour
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 cups white chocolate chips ( I used Ghiradelli )

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Zest the oranges and set aside.  In a small bowl sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together.  Set aside.

Cream butter and sugars together in a large bowl.  Add vanilla, eggs, and orange zest. Combine the two mixtures and stir until evenly mixed.  Add in the white chocolate chips and stir until evenly distributed.  Roll into balls and place a warm baking stone or un-greased cookie sheet.  Bake for 8 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned.  Remove cookies and let cool for 5-10 minutes before eating.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
