Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 box white cake mix (15.25 oz or close)
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • confectioner's sugar (for dipping (about a cup))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375.
  • In a large mixing bowl, place the shortening, water, vanilla, and egg white. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed for about a minute.
  • Add the cake mix. Beat again with mixer until smooth and no lumps remain, or about two minutes. Add in nuts (if using) and chocolate chips. Mix once more just until incorporated.
  • Shape cookie dough into one-inch balls. Place about two inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake until almost set, or for about 10 minutes.
  • While warm, dip the tops in powdered sugar and then cool.
