Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C (160°C fan oven), and line two half-size baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large bowl, mix together white cake mix, orange jello, vegetable oil, and eggs. If cookie dough becomes too thick, keep folding it with a spatula.
Add the chocolate chips, and mix again.
Using a medium (2 tablespoon) cookie scoop. Scoop dropping the cookies onto the baking sheet, 2 inches apart.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 minutes.
Allow the cookies to cool for 5-10 minutes on the baking sheet and finish cooling on a cooling rack.
Notes
Be sure to allow 2 inches of space around each cookie when baking. These cookies will spread quite a bit.
Make Crinkle Cookies: Roll the cookie dough balls in powdered sugar before baking if desired. Here's an example of how I did that with Cake Mix Crinkle Cookies.
Finish the cookies off with a lemon drizzle! I like to do fresh lemon juice and zest mixed with powdered sugar. Find the recipe in my Cake Mix Lemon Cookies.
Store lemonade cookies in an airtight container and enjoy them within 2-3 days for the best texture. The cookies can be kept longer, but they will start to get stale after 3 days.
