Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces white cake mix (1 box, use your favorite brand)
  • 3 ounces orange jello (1 box)
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 11 ounces white chocolate chips

Step-by-step Directions

1. Preheat and Prepare

Start by preheating the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and set aside.

2. 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.

3. Add Wet Ingredients

Add the softened butter and room-temperature eggs to the bowl. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to beat the ingredients together just until combined, about 2 minutes, ensuring to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

4. Incorporate Chocolate Chips

Gently fold in the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough, distributing them evenly.

5. Shape and Bake

Using a 1 ½ tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop out the dough, roll it into a ball, and place it on your prepared baking sheet. Ensure to leave about 2 inches between each dough ball. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.

6. Cooling

After baking, allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.

Servings & Preparation Time

This recipe makes approximately 24 cookies. The total preparation time is around 10 minutes, with a cooking time of 10 to 13 minutes per batch.

Tips for Storage & Reheating
