Ingredients
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 (3-ounce) box orange jello
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- ½ cup salted butter (room temperature)
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the white cake mix, orange jello powder, and orange zest.
- Add the butter and eggs, mixing until well combined. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Fold in the white chocolate chips.
- Scoop 1 ½ tablespoons of dough using a cookie scoop and roll into balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.
Notes
- If using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt to the dry ingredients.
- For a fun twist, swap out white chocolate chips for semi-sweet, milk, or dark chocolate chips.
- If you don’t have orange zest, you can skip it, but the cookies will lose some of their bright citrus flavor.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent spreading.
- For a softer cookie, slightly underbake the cookies, leaving them a little wet in the center.
