Spiced White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

For the second time in a row, I’ve created a new recipe using a key ingredient that would surprise those who know me best-a store bought cake mix.  The shame!  The horror!  I know, I know.  I’m in disbelief as well.  But alas, even I couldn’t pass up the crazy good savings recently and grabbed a few boxes for some kitchen experiments.  Plus I figured once I doctored them up with Dove®, they would be so good, nobody could tell.  Except me.  Because I’m just like that when it comes to boxed cake mix. 

Yes I love to cook everything what I call “the real way”, aka scratch.  But I’m also practical, and for the next few weeks, short on kitchen time.  So practical is kinda winning out.  And no mouths are complaining, so it’s a good thing.  Wait, “it’s a good thing”?  I thought by shortcutting this recipe I could channel my inner Betty Crocker, but I sound more like Martha Stewart.

I’m not quite sure where the idea for this recipe came from but it just popped into my head.  Kinda like the Martha quote.  Spooky.  Anyway, these were quite simple and they just taste like Fall-not like a boxed cake mix at all.  Yes I said that.  So thank you Betty, you brought out the Martha in me.  It’s a good thing! 

Spiced White Chocolate Chunk Cookies

1 Box White Chocolate Cake Mix

2 Eggs

½ Cup Vegetable Oil

¾ Cup Dove Chocolate Discoveries™ Spiced White Sipping Chocolate

2 Bars Dove Chocolate Discoveries™ Chef Series, Chopped

On low speed of mixer, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and sipping chocolate just until mixed.  Fold in chips.  Chill dough 30 minutes.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls (I use a small ice cream scoop) onto non-stick cookie sheet or parchment lined sheet.  Bake at 350 for 8-12 minutes (depending on size) until firm and just starting to brown slightly.  Cool on sheet five minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Makes about 2 ½ dozen 3-inch cookies.
