Ingredients
Duncan Hines Supreme Coconut Cake Mix
1 (18 1/4 ounce) box (none)
Mounds Sweetened Flaked Coconut
1 (14 ounce) bag (none)
Baker's German's Chocolate
3 (4 ounce) bars (broken into pieces)
Eggs
2 (beaten)
Vegetable Oil
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon (none)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cookie sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Duncan Hines Supreme Coconut Cake Mix, 1/3 cup of vegetable oil, and the beaten eggs. Mix well using your hands or a spatula until fully combined.
3
Gradually add the sweetened flaked coconut to the dough, mixing by hand until evenly incorporated. If the dough feels excessively thick, add the additional tablespoon of vegetable oil and mix until smoother.
4
Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls and place them onto the prepared parchment-lined cookie sheet. Make sure to space them out evenly.
5
Flatten each dough ball using your hand firmly to ensure an even bake, as they will not spread on their own.
6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden on the edges. Keep an eye on them as oven times may vary.
7
Once done, immediately transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
8
While the cookies are cooling, melt the chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, place 2 of the broken German chocolate bars and microwave for 60 seconds. Stir until smooth. You can add more time in short intervals if needed.
9
Dip the top halves of each cooled cookie into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
10
Place the chocolate-dipped cookies on a sheet of wax paper and let them sit until the chocolate has set. If necessary, you can speed up this process by placing the cookies in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
