Description

Quick and easy recipe for orange cookies that taste like a dreamsicle.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Orange
  • 1 box Duncan Hines Orange Supreme Cake Mix, 18 Ounce Box
  • 2  Eggs
  • ⅓ cups Vegetable Oil
  • 1 cup Confectioners Sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon Milk

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Wash, then zest the orange over a small plate and set the zest aside. Be careful when zesting. Only zest the first layer and be careful not to get into the white layer of the orange.

Cut the orange in half. In a separate bowl, juice orange and set the juice aside.

Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoon of orange juice and 1 tablespoon of orange zest and stir it into the mix. Stir in eggs and oil, only until well blended. Drop teaspoon-sized scoops of dough onto baking pans that you’ve lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. A mini cookie scoop would be preferred if you have one.

Bake for 7 to 8 minutes in the preheated oven. The tops will be broken and cookies will look set. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy. Be careful to not over bake. Let cookies cool on the pan for 5-8 minutes before removing them. Place cookies on a long piece of aluminum foil ready for drizzling. Cool cookies completely before drizzling with orange cream.

In a small bowl, mix together confectioners’ sugar, 1 tablespoon of orange juice, 1/4 teaspoon of zest and 1 tablespoon of milk. Stir together until thick. Drizzle should be thick but thin enough to drizzle. Add additional teaspoons of milk or orange juice (1 teaspoon at a time) if needed to thin. Transfer drizzle to a Ziplock bag and set it aside until all cookies are cooled. Cut a small hole in the corner of the bag and drizzle it onto the cookies. Let them set 10-20 minutes for drizzle to dry.

Cookies will keep 7-10 days in an airtight container.

Makes about 60 cookies.

I made these a while back and loved them! I didn’t drizzle the cookies because I was way to hungry to wait for that! Instead I actually added a little bit of the drizzle before baking them and it was wonderful! Thanks for the recipe!

The cookies were very tasty and moist! I loved the color, such a pretty orange. I wasn’t real crazy about the drizzle though, I tried to tweak it a little but I just couldn’t get it to where I liked it so I did without and the cookies were good even without. I will definitely make these again!
Thanks for the recipe!!
