Gather Your Ingredients
Before you begin, it’s important to gather all the necessary ingredients to make sure your orange cake mix cookies turn out perfect. Don’t worry, the list is short and sweet. You’ll need:
- 1 box of orange cake mix
- two eggs
- 2 tbsp. orange juice
- 1 tsp. orange zest
- 1/3 cup of oil
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Make sure your eggs are at room temperature and your oil is liquid before you start. Once you have all your ingredients ready to go, it’s time to preheat your oven.
Mix Your Dough
Before you start mixing your dough, it’s crucial to preheat your oven. This step ensures that your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly golden brown. Set your oven temperature to 350°F and give it a few minutes to reach the desired heat. While you wait, line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mixing the dough is the next step in creating these delicious orange cake mix cookies. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, orange juice, orange zest, and vegetable oil. You can use a spoon or an electric mixer to blend the ingredients until they are well combined and form a smooth dough.
At this point, your dough should be slightly sticky and easy to handle.
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to roll the dough into a ball then roll it into powdered sugar. Place it on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie to allow for spreading as they bake.
Bake and Cool
Once your dough is mixed and portioned into balls, it’s time to bake your cookies. Preheat your oven to 350°F and place your baking sheet with the cookie dough balls in the oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Keep an eye on them, as every oven is different, and adjust the baking time accordingly.
Once baked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will be soft and delicate straight out of the oven, but will firm up as they cool.
Serve and Enjoy
Adding a glaze to your orange cake mix cookies is a great way to add an extra burst of flavor and take your cookies to the next level. For a simple glaze, mix together powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until the glaze reaches your desired consistency. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set for a few minutes. The glaze adds a sweet finish and complements the citrus flavor of the cookies.
Now it’s time to enjoy your freshly baked orange cake mix cookies! Serve them up with a glass of cold milk or a hot cup of tea. These cookies are perfect for sharing with friends and family or enjoying as a sweet treat for yourself. Don’t forget to store any leftovers in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
