Preheat the oven to 350F. Line the cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, beat the butter, orange extract, cream cheese and egg with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the cake mix and mix well.
Optional: Add orange food coloring if desired until the cookie dough reaches the desired orange color.
