This duo of soft and chewy cookies will be a welcome addition to any dessert table. Using cake mix makes preparing the dough quick and simple with delicious results.
Ingredients:
Chewy Jujube Cookies
- 1 box white cake mix
- 2 large eggs, well beaten
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup (250 mL) Jujubes, cut in half
Minty Double Chocolate Cookies
- 1 box devil’s food cake mix
- 2 large eggs, well beaten
- 1/2 cup (125 mL) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp (2 mL) peppermint extract
- 2 pkgs milk chocolate mint buds
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F (175C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly combine cake mix, eggs and butter until smooth. Portion into 1 tbsp (15 mL) sized balls and set 4-5 cm apart on prepared baking trays.
- Bake 6-7 minutes. Remove trays from the oven. Decorate using jujubes (cut side down) or mint buds, pressing firmly into the cookies to ensure they stick. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes longer or until just starting to brown around the edges. Cool completely on the tray before serving.
