Orange Dreamsicle Cookies

Orange you glad it's not s'mores :)
This little cookie was a sunny treat in the midst of a cloudy start to September.  From the cheerful color to the pop of orange flavor and smooth white chocolate, this dreamsicle cookie was a fun take on the summery popsicle, and more sharable too!
