Ingredients

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While that warms up, line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats and set them aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Beat everything together for about 2 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and well mixed.
  • Pour the confectioner's sugar into a small bowl. Using a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll each ball in the sugar until it's nicely coated all around.
  • Place the sugared dough balls on your prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 3 inches apart so they have room to spread.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden and puffed up. As soon as they come out of the oven, use a teaspoon (the measuring kind works best) to gently press a small indent into the center of each cookie. Let them cool on the pan for about 5 minutes.
  • While the cookies cool, melt your white chocolate chips or chunks in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each round, until smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick, stir in a little coconut oil or shortening to help loosen it up.
  • Once the cookies have slightly cooled and the chocolate is ready, spoon about ½ to 1 teaspoon of the melted white chocolate into the center of each cookie.
  • Let the chocolate set completely—this usually takes a little while at room temperature. Once set, store the cookies in an airtight container and enjoy!
