I LOVE orange flavored anything. Still to this day when I eat skittles I eat them one flavor at a time usually starting with orange.
If you like orange creamsicles, you’ll LOVE these cookies. The orange flavors from the cake mix together with the creamy vanilla hints from the chocolate chips create an orange creamsicle wonderland in your mouth. It’s pure bliss!
So…on to the fun part!
Orange Creamsicle Cookies
Ingredients:
1 box of orange cake mix {important note: you will not follow the directions on the box}
1 tub of Cool Whip
1 egg
1/2 to a full bag of white chocolate chips depending on how much you want
1/2 cup powdered sugar (if desired to keep cookies from sticking together)
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Blend the cake mix, tub of cool whip, and egg together using a mixer with a dough hook if you have one. This is what a dough hook looks like:

This is the mixer I use and I love it because it’s affordable and it stirs the ingredients like a boss!
There isn’t a lot of moisture in the dough so if you’re stirring by hand let me warn you it will be a CRAZY hard workout for your arms! But don’t worry; the cookies will turn out moist at the end!
Next, fold in the white chocolate chips using a big strong spoon like this one:
Spoon heaping teaspoon fulls of dough onto a greased or parchment paper lined cookie sheet. I’ve found that using a small melon baller works great at spooning out cookie dough and helps keep the cookies all the same size
Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes
After the cookies are cool I dip both sides in powdered sugar so they won’t stick to each other
I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do!
So now this post has me wondering….what’s your favorite kind of cookie to bake?

Orange cake mix in cookies, Wow, that sounds unusual but SO good! May have to try. 🙂 I’m an oatmeal raisin girl, myself.
