Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 15 oz white cake mix (any brand)
- 3 oz orange powdered jello
- 2 tbsp orange zest
Wet Ingredients
- 8 tbsp butter (softened)
- 2 eggs
Add-ins
- 11 oz white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the cookies evenly.
- Prepare Baking Sheets: Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, orange powdered jello, and orange zest. Use a hand mixer to blend them thoroughly for an even distribution of flavors.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Add the softened butter and eggs to the dry mixture. Beat the mixture with the hand mixer for about one minute until a smooth dough forms.
- Incorporate White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips using a silicone spoon to distribute them evenly without overmixing the dough.
- Shape Cookies: Scoop approximately 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll each portion into a ball. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving 1 to 2 inches of space between each to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for a few minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before enjoying.
Notes
- For a stronger orange flavor, increase the amount of orange zest.
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Optional: Add a drizzle of melted white chocolate on top after baking for extra sweetness and decoration.
