Triple Chocolate Cookies

Hey Y'all.  I've been talking to a lot of people lately who believe they can't cook or bake.  They think it's super complicated so they don't even try.  That's not the case at all.  I have lots of recipes that are so easy anyone can make them.  Here is a super simple cookie recipe.  It uses a box of cake mix.  I mean, come on, how easy is that?  

TRIPLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES

1 box chocolate cake mix (I used Swiss chocolate mix)

1 stick unsalted butter

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

1 cup white chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Melt the butter in the microwave or in a pot on the stove.

In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter, egg and vanilla extract.  You can use an electric mixer on low, but if you don't have one, just stir it until it's thoroughly combined.

Add the chocolate chips and stir to mix them in well.

Drop by rounded tablespoon onto a cookie sheet, leaving room between them.  An easy way to do this is to use two spoons.  Scoop with one spoon then use the second spoon to scrape the dough off and onto the cookie sheet.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven (you want them to go into a hot oven so be sure it's preheated) for 9-11 minutes or until the edges are just starting to brown.

Let them sit on the baking sheet for 1 minute after you remove from the oven.  Then use a spatula to transfer them to rack to cool.  Yields 4 dozen cookies.

These cookies are really yummy and chocked full of chocolate chips!  Awesome with a glass of milk.  Plus, it's so easy!  A great recipe to make with kids or for a party or anytime, really.  So, if you are one of those who think they can't bake, please give this a try.  You'll surprise yourself.
