Mexican Chocolate Cookies
Soft and chewy chocolate cake mix cookies that are double dipped in a cinnamon sugar mixture for just the right hint of cinnamon flavor.
Servings: 22 cookies
Calories: 125kcal
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 2 eggs {whisked}
- 1/3 cup butter {melted}
Topping
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2-2 tbsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Combine cinnamon and sugar {topping ingredients} in a small bowl and set aside.
- Combine cake mix, eggs and melted butter in a medium bowl. Mix using a hand held mixer {or by hand}. NOTE: Dough will be thick.
- Using a medium sized cookie scoop {or heaping tablespoon} scoop cookies and roll in cinnamon sugar topping. Place cookie dough onto a silicone mat {or parchment} lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for 4-5 minutes. Before moving to a cooling rack, re-roll them in the cinnamon sugar topping mixture. Repeat until all of the dough is baked.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- If you don't have butter, use vegetable oil in the cookie dough. Either ingredient can be used with great results. Use what you have.
- Do not over bake the cookies. Cake mix cookies are amazing but the one thing that can easily happen is they get too hard from over baking.
- For an extra spicy cookie, add a 1/8 teaspoon of chili powder to either the cookie dough or the topping.
- Add a half cup of chocolate chips to the cookie dough for added chocolate flavor.
- Drizzle the top of the cookies with some salted caramel for a fun twist.
- Add a half cup of chopped almonds or walnuts to add texture.
- Top the cookies with marshmallows the last 2-3 minutes of baking like I did with these Rocky Road Cookies.
