For our final dessert, we will be making cookies instead of the mirror cake that Vanessa had originally planned. We agreed that making these mirror cakes are beyond our capability and it will require too much time and money, so instead, we will be making cookies for the class (hopefully) to conclude our Passion Project. The recipe that we will be using requires a few ingredients such as vegetable oil, eggs, white chocolate chips, and cookie dough that can also be substituted with cake mix. The general instructions that we will be following is listed below:

Instructions (Recipe by Kelly Senyei)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the cake mix, oil and eggs until combined. Stir in the chocolate chips. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 45 minutes.

When ready to bake, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Arrange the cookie dough balls on the baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies for 10 to 13 minutes or until they’re slightly crisped around the edges and still soft in the center. (The cookies will puff up slightly while baking but then settle as they cool. All ovens vary in temperature, so check the cookies at 12 minutes then continue baking if needed.)

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a rack to cool completely. Repeat the baking process with the remaining dough, allowing the baking sheet to cool completely between each batch.
