Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces white cake mix (1 box)
- 3 ounces orange gelatin powder (1 box)
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
Wet Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
Add-ins
- 11 ounces white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Mix dry ingredients. In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the white cake mix, orange gelatin powder, and orange zest until they are fully combined, ensuring even distribution of flavors.
- Add wet ingredients and blend. Add the softened butter and eggs to the bowl. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture just until combined, about 2 minutes, making sure to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients uniformly.
- Fold in white chocolate chips. Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough to distribute them evenly without overmixing and toughening the dough.
- Scoop and shape cookies. Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a ball and place it on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each ball to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the cookies remain soft in the center.
- Cool. Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes to allow them to firm up before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy. Serve once cooled and enjoy the creamy orange-flavored delights!
Notes
- Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For long-term storage, freeze cookies in a freezer-safe airtight container for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature before serving.
