Ingredients
  

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup brown sugar, packed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon orange zest (from about 1 large orange)

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped pistachios (optional, for garnish)

Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

    Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.

      Add Eggs and Flavorings: Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest, ensuring everything is well combined.

        Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and baking powder. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.

          Fold in the Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

            Scoop the Dough: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

              Optional Topping: If desired, sprinkle chopped pistachios on top of each cookie before baking for added texture and flavor.

                Bake the Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.

                  Cool and Dust: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If you like, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar before serving.

                    Enjoy: Serve these delightful creamsicle orange cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
