Step 1

Start by making the buttercream frosting. Whip the butter until smooth.

Step 2

Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing until it is fully incorporated. You may need to add a few tsp of milk to help the powdered sugar come together with the butter.

Step 3

Once all of the powdered sugar has been added to the butter, add the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Spread the frosting into a thin layer on a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Step 5

While the frosting is in the freezer, make the cookie dough.

Step 6

Preheat the oven to 350°. Cream together the butter and granulated sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer. Cream for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the eggs and orange baking emulsion. Mix until well combined.

Step 8

Add in the flour and baking powder. Mix until the dough comes together.

Step 9

Add the Food coloring a few drops at a time until the dough has reached your desired color.

Step 10

Portion out the dough into 1/3 cup portions. Roll the portions into a ball and then press your thumb into the dough to create a deep pocket and arrange on a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 11

When all of the dough has been prepped, take the frosting out of the freezer and chop the frosting into small pieces.

Step 12

Fill each cookie dough ball with pieces of frozen frosting.

Step 13

Close up the cookie dough around the frosting and flatten the cookie dough slightly with your hands so it looks like a hockey puck. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 14

Bake at 350° for 13- 15 minutes. The cookie will flatten  and spread slightly, puff up and the center of the cookie will no longer look wet and glossy when they are ready to come out of the oven.

Step 15

Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan.

Step 16

Once the cookies have cooled completely, drizzle the top of the cookie with melted white chocolate.

Step 17

Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes prior to serving.
