Equipment

  • 2 18x26" cookie sheet pans
  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 wooden spoon
  • 1 spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • 1 cookie scoop if desired

Ingredients
  

  • 14.25 oz. box Betty Crocker gingerbread cake mix
  • 1/4 cup UNBLEACHED all-purpose flour (bleached flour toughens baked goods)
  • 3 to 4 tbsp. canola oil or use coconut oil (melted) or avocado oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 11.25 oz. bag white chocolate chips not vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips

Instructions
 

  • Combine cake mix, flour and eggs.
  • Stir in oil just until batter is moistened.
  • Stir in white chocolate chips.
  • Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray.
  • Roll cookies into balls or scoop cookie dough with a scoop and place on prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for 13-15 minutes or until done.
  • Rotate cookies on racks every six to eight minutes while baking.
  • Cool completely.

Notes

NOTE: Because I was baking 24 cookies per cookie sheet and four racks of cookies at once, my cookies took about 28-30 minutes to bake. I also rotated the trays every eight minutes.
 
NOTE: These cookies must be rotated during baking or the white chocolate chips will brown on the top rack.
 
NOTE: I found these cookies did better by rolling the dough into balls than using a cookie scoop.
 
NOTE: Be sure to use true white chocolate chips. Most stores only carry white or vanilla chips. They are not the same. In the Dallas area the only two stores that carry white chocolate chips are Kroger and Trader Joe’s.
 
NOTE: Because the gingerbread cake mixes are two-ounces less than most cake mixes, I added flour to get the cookie dough to the correct consistency.
 
NOTE: My eggs seemed extra large or jumbo rather than regular sized large eggs. You have to adjust the oil accordingly. If your mixture is dry, add more oil. Otherwise, add just enough oil to mix the dough.
 
NOTE: This recipe calls for real white chocolate chips NOT vanilla chips or premiere white baking chips. Those chips do not have cocoa or chocolate in the ingredients. The only place we can purchase white chocolate chips in the Dallas Metroplex is at Kroger (Private Selection) and Trader Joe's.
