Festive orange spice cookies with rich cream cheese, sweet molasses, and fragrant extracts for a comforting holiday treat.
Ingredients:
  • 1.25 cups dark brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup white sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 teaspoon orange extract
  • 0.5 teaspoon maple extract
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons grated orange zest, or to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and prepare 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together both sugars, 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons of butter, and cream cheese until creamy for at least 5 minutes. Add the egg and mix thoroughly. Stir in the molasses, vanilla, orange, and maple extracts until well combined.
  • Combine flour, orange zest, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, cloves, and nutmeg in a separate bowl until evenly mixed. Gently fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
  • Spoon dough onto baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes or until edges turn golden. Let it cool on the baking sheet briefly before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
