Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make these delicious orange cake mix cream cheese cookies (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):

• Orange cake mix
• Cream cheese
• Butter
• Egg
• Orange extract
• Orange food coloring (optional)
• White chocolate chips
• Powdered sugar

Making Orange Creamsicle Cake Mix Cookies

Mix up the cookie dough by first beating together the butter, cream cheese, egg, and orange flavor extract with an electric mixer. Add the orange cake mix and beat with the mixer to combine. At this point you can also add some orange food coloring to bump up the orange color. If you don’t have orange coloring, use one part red to two parts yellow.

Next, mix in the white chocolate chips. Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

We used a cookie scoop to form 24 cookie balls. Roll each in powdered sugar.

Place the cookie dough balls on parchment paper lined cookie sheets. You can also add a few extra white chocolate chips to the top of each cookie.

Bake the cookies at 350ºF for 12-13 minutes, then remove to cool on a wire cooling rack.

Enjoy your Orange Creamsicle Cake Mix Cookies with an ice cold glass of milk on a warm summer day… or any time!

Can I Leave Out the White Chocolate Chips?

If you don’t have white chocolate chips or don’t prefer them, you can absolutely make this recipe without them. Just skip that ingredient but otherwise make the cookies as directed.

Lemon Variation

If this cookie recipe sounds great to you but you want to try it a different way, go for lemon! Just swap out the orange cake mix and extract for lemon cake mix and extract. You’ll also want to use just a little yellow food coloring instead of orange.
