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.
  • Eggs

*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.

How to Make Milky Way Cookies

It’s actually SO easy to make rich, chewy Chocolate Milky Way Cookies!

Here’s what you’ll do…

1. Mix your Cake Mix, Butter, and Eggs with a mixer until well combined.

2. Then chop your Milky Way Minis into smaller pieces.

3. Gently stir your candy pieces into your cookie dough with a large spoon.

4. Cover your dough and transfer it to the refrigerator to chill.

5. After your dough has chilled, line your baking sheets with parchment paper.

6. Roll your cookie dough into balls, and place on cookie sheets.

7. Bake in the oven, then cool on wire racks.

Now all that’s left is to sit back, relax, enjoy & DEVOUR!
