Servings: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (if using a 15.25 oz. box, increase butter to 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be subsituted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 9.7 ounces Snickers Minis (10 ounces of Fun Size Snickers can be substituted)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter (or oil), and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.
- Unwrap Snickers Minis and chop into pieces. (I cut each mini into 6 equal sized pieces. If using fun size Snickers, chop into 12 equal sized pieces.)
- Stir in chopped Snickers pieces with large wooden spoon.
- Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls and transfer to cookie sheet.
- Bake on center oven rack for 7 - 13 minutes, or until done. (Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets.)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to wire racks to finish cooling, and ENJOY!
Notes
- Butter: 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.
- Make Ahead Tips: These chocolate cookies made with cake mix are SO easy to prep ahead of time! The Snickers cookie dough can be made ahead of time, then stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days prior to baking your Snickers cookies. Want your chocolate cookie dough to last even longer?
