Recipe FAQs and Expert Tips
I find the orange color of the baked cookies depends on the batch of the cake mixes from the company. Sometimes they are a brilliant orange, and other times, they're not. Doesn't depend on how fresh the cake mix is either.
They should be good for a week in the fridge. Mine have never made it more than a couple of days without being completely devoured though.
