I was obsessed with orange creamsicles as a kid. I always was hoping that my mom would pick up a box from the grocery store, especially during the summer. Whenever the ice cream man made an appearance in the neighborhood I would almost always order an orange cream popsicle, well that is if I wasn’t getting one of those delicious popsicles that had the bubble gum eyes. But I guess we’ll have to make a cookie out of those popsicles another time.
Turning a popsicle into a cookie was genius. Whoever came up with that idea, bravo. I am pretty much just as obsessed with these orange cream cookies as I am the creamsicle. I had made these cookies for some neighbors, but ended up eating them all with just me and my husband. OOPS. Good thing we just started a health challenge so we can learn to control those cravings. 馃檪聽
