Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear slightly soft but will firm up as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare the Orange Cream Filling:
In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
Beat in the orange juice, orange zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Assemble the Cookies:
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the orange cream filling on the bottom of one cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.
Tips:
For a more intense orange flavor, you can increase the amount of orange zest in the filling.
Store the assembled cookies in an airtight container to keep the filling from drying out.
These Orange Creamsicle Cookies are sure to bring back those summer memories with every bite. Enjoy!
