Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix, softened butter, egg, vanilla and stir by hand or with a mixer until combined. Fold in the coconut flakes and chocolate chips. Place the mixing bowl in the freezer for 15 minutes. Do not skip this step. Chilled dough spreads less during the baking process and this dough must be chilled before baking.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop 1-inch domed balls on a Silpat-lined, parchment paper-lined, or cookie sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray, allowing for adequate spacing. These cookies do spread some, but not terribly so. Before baking, insert a couple of the diced Mounds pieces into the top of each cookie, pressing in just past the surface. Bake at 350F for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookies have set up.
- Tip: Because the cookies are dark chocolate, it is hard to tell if they are browning; instead look at the tops of the cookies. If the tops are shiny, they are still a bit raw and a matte appearance means they are more well-cooked (I baked for 8 1/2 minutes, retaining just a small portion of shininess in the centers of the cookies. I prefer slightly underbaked cookies and these were incredibly soft and moist).
- The cookies may appear a bit loose on the tops after 10 minutes but they will continue to cook on the sheets after you remove the from the oven and will firm up as they cool. Do not overbake. Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets before attempting to move them. Cookies will keep for a week on the countertop in an airtight container or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
