Ingredients
  

For the Cookies

  • 1 box orange cake mix (I used Duncan Hines)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cream Cheese Filling

  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup (113g) powdered sugar

For the White Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1 cup (170g) white chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Make the Cookies

  • In a large bowl, mix together the cake mix and baking powder. Add the eggs, vegetable oil, and vanilla, and stir until it forms a dough. Stir until no more clumps of dry cake mix remain. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Make the Cream Cheese Filling

  • Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese and vanilla together. Slowly add the powdered sugar, and mix until smooth.
  • Using a tablespoon, scoop out cream cheese filling and place onto lined baking sheet. Continue with the rest of the filling. Place baking sheet in the freezer for at least one hour.

Assembling the Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 375ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Grease your hands with either nonstick cooking spray or butter. To assemble cookies, scoop out a small portion of dough about the size of a golfball and flatten in the palm of your hand. Place a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling in the center of the flattened dough, and carefully wrap the dough around the filling. (Make sure that no filling is showing. You don't want the cookies to leak while baking!) Gently roll into a ball and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies begin to crackle. After removing from the oven, gently press the tops of the cookies to prevent a lumpy appearance. Let cookies cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double broiler. Drizzle the white chocolate over the cooled cookies and allow the chocolate to set. Serve and enjoy!
