Ingredients

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 20 cherries
  • 1/4 cup red sugar crystals optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or non-stick silicone baking mats.
  2. Whisk together chocolate cake mix, eggs and oil in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
  3. Portion the dough into balls that are each about the size of a ping-pong ball. Place the dough balls on baking mat, leaving a couple inches between each one.
  4. Use the back of a spoon or your thumb to flatten each ball of dough and place a cherry in the middle.
  5. Wrap the cookie dough around the cherry so that it is completely covered and again in the shape of a ball.
  6. If using sugar crystals, pour them into a small bowl. Press each cookie dough ball into the sugar, so that the top is coated.
  7. Place the cookie balls back on the baking sheets, sugar-side up.
  8. Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350°F.
