Orange Cream Cookies

I adapted this recipe from a recipe on the Betty Crocker web site. It called for a pouch of cookie mix and I usually don't buy those so I just made my favorite sugar cookies and tweaked them with the orange flavoring instead of lemon. I suppose you could use lemon extract and call them Lemon Cream Cookies. But they're supposed to remind you of a frozen cream sickle.

3/4 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon orange extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
1 (12 oz.) pkg. white vanilla baking chips
2 drops red food coloring (optional)
4 drops yellow food coloring (optional)

Heat oven to 375. Mix thoroughly butter, sugar, eggs and flavoring. Blend in flour, baking powder and salt, mix well. Add food coloring if you're using it, and vanilla chips. Drop by teaspoons onto baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes. Cool a minute or so on the pan before removing to a cooling rack.
