Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Use parchment paper to line your baking sheet(s) and set aside. This ensures that your cookies won’t stick and makes for easy cleanup.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl if you’re using an electric mixer, combine cake mix, eggs, and oil.  Mix until thoroughly combined and soft and a uniform dough forms.

I like this inexpensive hand mixer

Add in the white chocolate chips and fold in by hand until completely mixed in throughout the dough.  

 

Use a small ice cream scoop to portion out the cookie dough and roll it into individual balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet at least two inches apart, leaving enough space between each to allow for spreading during baking.

• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just slightly browned. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-baking, as these are chewy cookies and are best when they’re soft on the inside.
• 
• Once baked, let the cookies cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack until room temperature.

  Sprinkle with Powdered sugar or cocoa powder for dusting and an extra touch of sweetness.
  
  Use white chocolate drizzle on the top of the cookies.
  
  Have fun using your favorite mix-ins; chocolate chips,  M&M’s, Oreo pieces, Reese’s pieces, etc

 Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days, they are the most fresh for up to 3 days.
Frozen for 3 months. 

 There you have it, a delicious and easy cookie recipe!  This is a great option when you are running low on time and require minimal effort.  I also used this method on my strawberry cookies, I promise you, they don’t taste cakey, they taste like baked cookies, moist and delicious with a soft texture
