Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons orange zest (from about 1–2 oranges)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
  • 1 small box (3 oz) orange-flavored gelatin (Jello)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  2. Cream Butter and Sugars:

    • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
    • Add the egg, vanilla extract, orange zest, and orange juice, and beat until well combined.

  3. Add Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
    • Fold in the orange gelatin powder and white chocolate chips until evenly distributed.

  4. Shape the Cookies:

    • Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough per cookie and roll into balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.

  5. Bake:

    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just set and the centers are still slightly soft.
    • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For Extra Flavor: Add a few drops of orange extract for a more intense orange flavor.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature before serving.
