Equipment

Ingredients

15.25 oz white cake mix your favorite brand
3 oz orange Jello 1 small box
3 tbsp orange zest
1 tsp fresh orange juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup butter softened
2 eggs
2 cups white chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat over to 350℉. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Add white cake mix, orange Jello, and orange zest to the bowl of a stand mixer. Whisk together until all the ingredients are well blended.
Next, mix in the orange juice, vanilla extract, butter, and eggs. Mix together. While the mixer is on low speed slowly add in the white chocolate chips.
Place the dough on the prepared cookie sheets using a 2 inch cookie scoop. Leave about 2 inched between each cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until each cookie has a slight golden tint around the edges. Cool completely, serve and ENJOY!

Notes

To achieve that signature creamsicle flavor, use fresh orange zest from the orange part of the peel only and pair it with high-quality pure vanilla extract rather than imitation.
Get the most consistent results and best texture by allowing your butter and eggs to come to room temperature before mixing. This helps all ingredients blend together smoothly.
Watch for lightly golden edges and slight surface cracks as your visual cues that the cookies are done, being careful not to overbake them since they'll continue setting up as they cool.
Measure out each portion with a 2-inch cookie scoop and space them about 2 inches apart on your baking sheet.
