Ingredients
- 1 package (15.25 ounces) white cake mix
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- Royal blue gel food coloring (start with ¼ teaspoon, adjust for desired color)
Instructions
- Prepare for Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Mix the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and start with ¼ teaspoon of royal blue gel food coloring.
- Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment to blend the ingredients on medium speed until the dough is smooth. Gradually add more food coloring as needed to achieve your desired shade of blue.
- Add Chocolate Chips:
- Gently fold in the milk chocolate chips with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.
- Cooling:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Perfect Cookies
- Food Coloring: Opt for gel food coloring for its intensity and ability to provide vibrant colors without altering the cookie dough’s consistency.
- Even Mixing: Ensure that the cookie dough is thoroughly mixed to evenly distribute the food coloring, avoiding streaks or uneven patches of color.
- Cookie Scoop: Using a cookie scoop not only ensures uniform size and shape but also promotes even baking and perfect presentation.
