Cake Mix Chocolate Covered Cherry Cookies
Transform a devil's food cake mix into delightful Chocolate-Covered Cherry Cookies. Featuring a perfect balance of chocolatey goodness and sweet-tart cherries, these treats are quick, easy, and sure to impress.
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounce box of Devil’s food cake mix
- 6 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 large eggs
- 36 maraschino cherries
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- In large bowl, mix the cake mix, oil and eggs until well combined. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.
- Drain the maraschino cherries on a paper towel while the dough chills.
- When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line three cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll the dough into 1 tablespoon sized balls and arrange them on the prepared cookie sheets leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between each cookie.
- Use a 1/2 teaspoon sized measuring spoon to make an indentation in the middle of the cookie.
- Pat the tops of the cherries dry with a paper towel and place a cherry in the indentation in each cookie.
- Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until edges of the cookies are set. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Once the cookies have cooled, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 10-second increments until smooth. Add the chocolate to a piping bag and with a small cut in the tip. Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies and allow to set before serving.
Notes
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed within this timeframe as the cookies will soften overtime due to the maraschino cherry.
- For longer storage, freeze the cookies by placing them in a single layer in a freezer-safe container with parchment paper between the layers. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
