How to Make Triple Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
Preheat oven to 350F
Mix together cake mix, cream cheese, butter and egg. Stir in 3/4 of the mini chocolate chips.
Portion into 1 1/2 Tablespoon-sized balls (I used a cookie scoop to help with this). You should end up with approximately 20 cookie balls.
Take one ball and flatten it in your hand. Place the milk chocolate square on top and fold the cookie dough around the pattie to cover it completely.
Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
Sprinkle the remaining mini chocolate chips on top – pressing down slightly if needed to keep them in place.
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cracked and no longer glossy.
