Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 15.25 ounces (432 grams) white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 8 tablespoons (113 grams) salted butter, softened
Flavor Enhancers:
- 3 ounces (85 grams) orange jello
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
Extras:
- 11 ounces (312 grams) white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the baking workspace by heating the oven to 350°F and lining baking sheets with parchment paper for optimal cookie performance.
- Create a vibrant orange-infused base by thoroughly blending cake mix, zesty orange gelatin, and fragrant orange zest in a spacious mixing bowl.
- Incorporate softened butter and eggs into the dry mixture, whisking until a smooth, cohesive dough forms with a bright, citrusy aroma.
- Gently fold white chocolate chips throughout the dough, ensuring even distribution for delightful pockets of creamy sweetness.
- Shape the dough into uniform round balls, spacing them evenly across the prepared baking sheets to allow proper spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies for 10-13 minutes, watching for golden edges that indicate perfect doneness and a delicate, tender texture.
- Allow the freshly baked cookies to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, which helps them set and stabilize their structure.
- Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack, letting them cool completely to develop their full flavor profile and achieve an ideal crisp-yet-soft texture.
Notes
- These tangy-sweet cookies capture the nostalgic flavor of classic creamsicle treats in every delightful bite.
- Orange gelatin powder intensifies the citrusy punch, transforming a simple cake mix into a zesty cookie experience.
- White chocolate chips add creamy richness that perfectly complements the bright orange undertones.
- Room temperature ingredients ensure smoother mixing and a more consistent cookie texture.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days to maintain maximum freshness and flavor.
- Quick tip: Roll cookie dough balls slightly smaller for crispier edges or larger for softer, chewier centers.
