Ingredients:
- 1 box orange cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use an ungreased cookie sheet.
-
Mixing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the orange cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and a smooth dough forms. The vibrant orange hue of the cake mix will infuse the cookies with a burst of citrus flavor.
-
Dropping Dough: Using a teaspoon or a cookie scoop, drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie to allow for spreading during baking. If desired, you can lightly flatten each dough mound with the back of a spoon for a more uniform shape.
-
Baking: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops are set. Be careful not to overbake, as you want the cookies to remain soft and chewy.
-
Cooling: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Enjoying: Serve these Easy Orange Cookies as a delightful dessert, pack them into lunchboxes for a sweet surprise, or simply enjoy them as a tasty snack any time of day. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to several days to maintain their freshness.
