Cookies
- 1 box white cake mix {15.25 ounces}
- ⅔ cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup butter {softened}
- 2 Tablespoons sour cream
- 1 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- ½ cup white chocolate {chips or bar}
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese {softened}
- ¼ cup butter {softened}
- ½ Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3½-4 cups powdered sugar
- 1-3 Tablespoons milk
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Combine cake mix and flour in a medium bowl, whisk {or sift} together. Add eggs, melted butter and sour cream. Mix using a hand held {or stand} mixer until you have a thick dough. Add Fruity Pebbles and chopped white chocolate {or white chocolate chips} to cookie dough and mix until they are evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a large cookie scoop, measure out 12 cookies. Use your hands to press the cookie dough into a circle that is a thick round disc. Bake 8 cookies at a time. Place the cookie on a silicone mat {or parchment} lined baking sheet for 9-11 minutes or until set.
Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet.
While the cookies are cooling, start making the frosting. In a medium bowl combine the softened cream cheese, softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk. Mix using a hand held {or stand} mixer until thick but spreadable. Add more milk if needed.
Spread the frosting on top of each cookie or add the frosting to a piping bag and pipe the frosting on the top of each cookie. Add additional Fruity Pebbles to the edge of each cookie on the frosting and serve.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Look for Fruity Pebbles white chocolate bars. I found mine at Walmart. The chocolate bar already has Fruity Pebbles inside, so it gives the cookies an extra special taste.
- Don't forget to form the cookie dough mounds into discs before baking. This will ensure that you get thick and evenly baked cookies.
- Be sure to not over bake the cookies. It is important to not bake them for longer than 11 minutes. A cake mix cookie texture can get very hard when over baked.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet. This will help the cookies set up nicely.
- Use a zipper bag to pipe the frosting on top of each cookie if you don't have a piping bag. They work wonderfully and you have them in your drawer.
