Orange Scented Brown Sugar White Chocolate Cookies

Servings 24 Cookies

Ingredients

  • 2 sticks butter, softened
  • 1 cup light or dark brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 3 cups flour
  • Zest of a small orange
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips or white candy melts
  • 2 tbsp oil or paramount crystals
  • 12 mini marshmallows
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. In a standing mixer, cream butter and sugar. Add egg and mix. Add the vanilla, cinnamon, Orange zest and flour.
    Take dough out and place on a floured counter or large cutting board. Roll out the cookie dough and cut with cookie cutter. Place cookie on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges start to slightly brown. Cool on a rack.
    While the cookies are cooling, place white chocolate and oil or paramount crystals in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for about 45 seconds. The chocolate will still look whole at this point. Stir chocolate until it’s melted. If it needs more time after stirring for a while microwave it for another 15 seconds.
    Cut mini marshmallows in half so that each piece will have a flat bottom and there will be 24 pieces, one for each cookie. Dipped one side into the melted chocolate then dip it into the sprinkles. Place on a plate or cookie sheet to harden. Repeat with remaining marshmallows.
    Dip one side of a cookie into the chocolate, lay it down on parchment or wax paper and immediately put one of the sprinkled marshmallows on the cookie for the tail. Repeat with all the cookies.
