Equipment

  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Electric mixer
  • 1 Baking sheet
  • 1 Parchment paper
  • 1 Cookie scoop
  • 1 Cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white cake mix
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup maraschino cherries chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the mixture and beat until well combined.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips evenly into the cookie dough.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the white cake mix with milk to create a thick batter.
  • Stir in the chopped maraschino cherries into the cake batter.
  • Use a cookie scoop to portion out dough, flatten slightly, and place a teaspoon of cake batter in the center.
  • Fold the cookie dough over the cake batter to seal it, forming a ball.
  • Arrange the stuffed cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Notes

To prevent the cookie dough from sticking to your hands when folding in the cake batter, lightly dust your hands with flour. Ensure the cake batter is thick enough to hold its shape when placed inside the cookie dough to avoid spreading during baking. Adjust the amount of chocolate chips and cherries to suit your taste preference.
