Milky Way Cookies Ingredients
It takes just 4 simple ingredients to make the BEST Milky Way Chocolate Cookies!
- Cake Mix
- Milky Way Minis
- Butter – Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil can be substituted.

*When it comes to Cake Mix Cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I’ve found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.
