Preheat the oven to 350°F.
In a medium bowl, mix the cream cheese and butter until even consistency.
Stir in the eggs, orange extract, and zest. Mix until thoroughly incorporated.
Add the cake mix and mix until well blended.
Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes, which makes the dough easier to handle.
Shape dough into 1-inch balls and roll balls into confectioner's sugar.
Place balls on an ungreased cookie sheet at least 1 inch apart so there is room for them to spread.
Bake for 10 to 13 minutes. Do not let the cookies brown.
