Oil: Use ¼ cup of vegetable oil to add fats needed to keep the cookies moist while baking.

Chocolate nuggets: You need 18 foil-wrapped chocolate nuggets to stuff into each cookie dough ball.

White chocolate chips: Using 2 TBSP of white chocolate chips adds an amazing chocolatey layer that does not disappoint.

How to make Chocolate Stuffed Cookies with Cake Mix

Prep

Begin by heating the oven to 350°F and then line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Set them aside.

Dough

In a medium size bowl, combine the cake mix, oil, and eggs until fully incorporated. Cake mixes come in varying sizes these days. If your cake mix is less than 15.25 oz, add 1 TBSP flour and proceed with the recipe.

Next unwrap the chocolate nuggets and cut each one in half.

Proceed to shape the cookie dough into 1″ balls. Then flatten the dough and wrap around a half chunk of chocolate, making sure the chocolate is fully encased in the dough.

Place each ball on the prepared baking sheets, leaving 2″ space between them.

Bake

Now place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.

Chocolate drizzle

In a small bowl, microwave 1-oz of white chocolate with ½ tsp of shortening for 45 seconds. Let it sit for 1 minute, then gently stir until the chips are melted and smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small baggie and snip the corner off to drizzle over the cookies. Repeat this step with semi-sweet chocolate chips, drizzling it over the white chocolate.

Let the chocolate cool and set, serve and enjoy!
