Soft and fudgy inside with crispy edges, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!
Who wants to do nothing else this summer but eat these cookies all day?
🙋🏻🙋🏻🙋🏻 Me!!
You will too once you try these cookies!
Of course, nothing can replace classic chocolate chip cookies but this inside-out version is definitely just as tasty!
They are also ridiculously quick and easy to make! You'll likely have all these ingredients in your pantry right now. Don't have any softened butter on hand? No problem, we can make softened butter! All you need to do is grate the butter with a cheese grater and it will be perfectly softened to use in your cookies! ← I got that idea from a baking tutorial I watched a couple years ago - I use it quite often as I seem to never remember to take butter out to soften before I want to bake! #rookiemistake 🤦🏻♀️
I got the idea to use cake mix in cookies from Sally's cake batter chocolate chip cookies, those cookies are absolutely amazing! I thought why not use chocolate cake mix instead of white? Well, of course!! I added ¼ cup of cocoa powder for an extra dark chocolate flavor. These cookies are almost like a brownie, they're so rich and dark!
