Step by step instructions

• Step 1. – Prepare Oven – First, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2. Combine the boxed cake mix, eggs and oil together in a large bowl. Once you combine cake mix, the batter will be thick, but this is normal.

Step 3. Mix in food coloring until the dough is the color that you desire.

Step 4. Fold in the White Chocolate Chips.

Step 5. Use a cookie scoop to scoop out the cookies and place on cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and serve.

Recipe Tips

• Cookie Scoop –We recommend using a cookie scoop to start the dough into balls. This way the cookie dough balls are about the same size.
• Cooling Cookies –To cool the cookies before serving, place on a cooling rack.
• Line Baking Sheet –For easy cleanup and to easily remove cookies for baking pan, line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cake Mix Ingredients –When making this cake, you only need the 4 ingredients listed. There is no need to add the ingredients from the cake mix box.

How to Store

After your cookies have completely cooled, place in an air tight container. Store at room temperature for up to week.

How to Freeze

Make sure that the cookies cool completely before freezing. Place the cooked cookies on a baking sheet. Then place it in the freezer for at least 1 hour. After this time, move them to a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.

Freezing the cookie individually for an hour, allows you to take out small serving without having to defrost a large portion.

Defrost them at room temperature and then they are ready to enjoy! I love just pulling a few out at dinner time and they’re usually defrosted out in time for green St Pattys dessert.
