Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut, Sometimes You Don’t
I never feel like nuts in my baked goods. Macadamia nuts in white chocolate cookies, walnuts in brownies? No.Way. But big hunks of Mounds Bars? Yes. For sure.
If you don’t like coconut, good for you because there’s more for me. You can substitute Snickers Bars, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Rolos, or whatever candy is burning a hole in your pantry.
You also don’t have to put candy in your cookies. No one is forcing you. But you will be missing out on some of the texture and of course the taste factor.
These cookies are so soft and chewy that I call them flexi-cookies. Extremely flexible, pliable, and uber-chewy.
They’re a chocolate lover’s dream. Chocolate cake and chocolate chips and chocolate candy give them high marks on the overall fudge factor score card. Grab a napkin and enjoy.
Because this recipe uses chocolate cake mix, success is almost guaranteed. If you have cookie-making issues, cake mix cookies are nearly foolproof and these can fool just about anyone into thinking you spent lots of time at them.
They’re a one bowl and a spoon special and I purposely kept this recipe and batch size small: one dozen. No one “needs” more than 1 dozen of these on hand. However, if you do have those kind of needs, feel free to double the recipe.
These cookies are loaded with perfect bites. You know those bites that include some cookie, some chocolate chips, some Mounds Bar candy pieces, all gooey and melted together. The bites that make all the problems in the world stop while you’re chewing. Yes, lots of those bites going on here.
My batch of 11 cookies didn’t last long but that’s okay (a bonus) because variety is the spice of (dessert) life.
