Description
Scrumptious orange creamsicle cookies blend nostalgic summer flavors with classic baking techniques. Tangy citrus and sweet vanilla create a delightful treat you’ll crave again and again.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1 packet (3 oz) orange gelatin (Jello)
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), adjusting to 160°C for fan ovens. Cover two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
- In a mixing bowl, blend white cake mix, orange gelatin, vegetable oil, and eggs until the dough reaches a smooth, consistent texture. If the mixture seems too dense, continue mixing with a spatula.
- Gently fold white chocolate chips into the dough, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop dough portions onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them approximately 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 9 minutes, watching carefully to prevent over-browning.
- Allow cookies to rest on baking sheets for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. The cookies will set and develop a tender, slightly crisp exterior during this cooling process.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before mixing to achieve a smoother, more consistent cookie dough texture.
- Adjust the amount of orange gelatin based on personal preference for a stronger or subtler citrus flavor.
- Swap the white cake mix with a gluten-free cake mix alternative to make these cookies suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain their soft, chewy consistency.
