Imagine the rich decadence of our Cherry Chocolate Chip Almond Cake transformed into a delightful cookie. Chopped dried cherries and chocolate chips are scattered throughout, adding bursts of tart sweetness that perfectly balance the hint of almond amaretto flavor. These cookies capture all the elegance of our classic cake in a bite-sized treat. Just add 2 eggs and 2 Tbsp of unsalted butter for the perfect cookie dough.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Put the eggs and melted butter into a medium size bowl. Whisk well. Add the cake mix and stir….the dough will be a little shaggy, just knead with your hands a few times and a smooth dough will form.
Use a cookie scoop or your hands and roll into 2-inch balls. Place on prepared cookie sheet
Bake for about 12-14 minutes. The bottoms will be lightly browned and the inside soft and tender.
I always forget to buy dessert when company comes. I'm keeping these delicious coffee cake mixes in my pantry for whenever someone visits. They are quick and easy to make and they are wonderful.
