Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Cookie sheet
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 12 oz. white chocolate chips
- 4-5 candy canes crushed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment, and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, fold together the cake mix, eggs, and oil. **Important, the dough should be fairly sticky before baking, if it isn't, add a splash of water and fold together until everything is well combined. This will help the cookies spread more like normal cookies.
- Use a 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop to scoop the dough onto the baking sheet.
- Bake 9-11 minutes.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely.
- Add the white chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl, and heat on 30 second increments, stirring well between, until melted.
- Dip half of each cookie into the white chocolate, and sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
- Allow the cookies to set until the chocolate is solid & enjoy.
Notes
- Cool your cookies on a wire rack to ensure that they stay soft and chewy.
- Store your cookies in an airtight container or wrapped in plastic wrap, and keep them at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For extra chocolate flavor, add some cocoa powder to the dry cake mix before adding the wet ingredients.
- For smaller cookies, use a ½ tablespoon cookie scoop instead of a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop.
- Bake your cookies for 8-10 minutes for soft and chewy cookies or 10-12 minutes for slightly crispier cookies.
