Preparation

Grease pan (rub small amount of oil/butter or pan spray) and preheat oven 350 degrees.

Melt butter. Microwave about 30 seconds or you can melt in saucepan.

Mix Ingredients



In large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, melted butter and 2 eggs. Mix with hand beater until dough forms. You can also mix in a stand mixer.

Add 1 cup (or more if desired) white chocolate chips. Hand mix in white chocolate chips.

From here you have 2 options.

Refrigerate Dough (Optional)

Option 1 (preferred): Refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes. This allows it to firm up and makes it easier to shape into balls resulting in a more uniform cookie shape.

Option 2: Move directly to next step skipping refrigeration. The dough will be a little more sticky and harder to shape. Your cookies will be less uniform. This option is fine if you need to save time.

Prepare Cookies

Shape cookies into balls (about size of a golf ball). Top with a few more white chocolate chips, if desired.

Place cookies on sheet pan. They will expand. Put 6-9 cookies per pan.

Baking Times

Option 1: Bake 12-14 minutes.



Option 2: Bake 10-12 minutes.



Allow time to cool before removing from cookies sheet.
