Ingredients
15.25 ounces white cake mix (1 box)
3 ounces orange jello (1 box)
2 tablespoons orange zest
8 tablespoons salted butter, softened
2 large eggs, at room temperature
11 ounces white chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, orange jello, and orange zest.
Add softened butter and eggs to the dry mixture. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together until just combined, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold the white chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
Use a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to form the dough into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set but the centers are still soft.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- When measuring the flour, spoon it into the measuring cup and level it off with a knife for accurate measurements. Avoid packing the flour into the cup, as this can lead to dense cookies.
- For best results, use room temperature ingredients, including the butter and eggs, as they will mix more evenly into the dough.
- Don’t overmix the dough once the dry ingredients are added, as this can result in tough cookies. Mix until just combined for a tender texture.
- If you prefer a stronger orange flavor, you can add a teaspoon of orange extract along with the vanilla extract.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps prevent them from breaking apart when moving them.
- Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage. Just be sure to thaw frozen cookies at room temperature before serving.
