Recipe Tips:

  • Cookie Scoop – We recommend using a cookie scoop to start the dough into balls. This way the cookie dough balls are about the same size.
  • Cooling Cookies – To cool the cookies before serving, place on a cooling rack.
  • Line Baking Sheet – For easy cleanup and to easily remove cookies for baking pan, line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cake Mix Ingredients – When making this cake, you only need the 4 ingredients listed. There is no need to add the ingredients from the cake mix box.

How to Store:

After your cookies have completely cooled, place in an air tight container. Store at room temperature for up to week.

How to Freeze:

Make sure that the cookies cool completely before freezing. Place the cooked cookies on a baking sheet. Then place it in the freezer for at least 1 hour. After this time, move them to a freezer bag for up to 2-3 months.

Freezing the cookie individually for an hour, allows you to take out small serving without having to defrost a large portion.

Defrost them at room temperature and then they are ready to enjoy! I love just pulling a few out at dinner time and they’re usually defrosted out in time for green St Pattys dessert.
