Ingredients

For the Cookies

  • 1 box Devils Food Cake Mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 jar maraschino cherries drained, reserve liquid, and rougly chopped

For the Drizzle

  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 2 tbsp cherry juice

Instructions

For the Cookies

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil in a large mixing bowl. Stir until combined, the batter will be thick.
  • Fold in the chopped cherries. Chill for 20-30 minutes.
  • Drop cookies onto cookie sheet using a small cookie scoop. 12 cookies about 2 inches apart should fit on a standard sized cookie pan.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. Do not overcook. Cool on pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Cherry Drizzle

  • In a small bowl, add confectioner's sugar to the cherry juice. Stir until just combined.
  • Drizzle over the cooled cookies
  • Enoy!

Notes

  • Chilling the dough for 20-30 minutes will make the dough easier to work with and improve the texture of the cookies
  • If you do not have a cookie scoop, you can roll the dough into 1 inch balls
  • These cookies are meant to be very moist.  If you overcook them, they will become more cake-like.  Which is okay, but you don't want them to be too dry.
