Equipment

19 x 13-inch half-sheet baking pan

Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients

1 box vanilla cake mix
2 eggs large
⅓ cup vegetable oil
¼ teaspoon orange extract

Glaze Ingredients

1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice or as needed
¼ teaspoon grated orange zest

Instructions

Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 375 degrees F.
Pour cake mix into a large bowl. Stir in eggs and oil until well blended. Place dough in refrigerator for approximately one hour.
Remove dough from refrigerator. Shape teaspoonfuls of dough into small balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 9 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven. The bottoms will be light brown, and the insides chewy. Cool completely on a cookie rack.
Meanwhile, mix confectioners' sugar, orange zest, and orange juice in a medium mixing bowl. Drizzle over cookies and garnish with leftover orange zest, if desired.

Heather's Helpful Hints

Be sure to cool your baking sheets between baking batches of cookies. To cool your cookie pans in a hurry, run them under cold water and then wipe dry before using.
