..:CAKE MIX MATCHA COOKIES:..

- 1 box of yellow cake mix (I recommend Duncan Hines)
- 1 tablespoon of matcha powder
- 1/2 cup of vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of white chocolate chips + more for decorating (Don't have white chocolate chips? Cream cheese chips make an excellent substitute!)

- Thankfully for this recipe you don't need an electric mixer, but I do reccommend mixing it all together with a silicone spatula. From my experience I've found mixing together dense doughs by hand to be easier with one of these.

- While you can form these into a ball using your hands, I really recommend using a small ice cream scoop if you have one. This is my favorite tool for baking cookies as each ball of dough will be the same size. Clean up's easy too!

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- Add cake mix and matcha powder to a large bowl, then the wet ingredients: the vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract.

- Mix together using a large spoon or a silicone spatula until it becomes a dough. This is a very dense dough, expect to put some muscle into it!

- After forming the dough, add the chips and mix together until well incorporated.

- Using either your hands or a ice cream scoop, form the cookies and place them on a baking sheet equipped with parchment paper.

- This is optional, but a nice way to use the rest of the chips, you can add the remainders to the top of the cookie. I recommend sticking the chips pointed side in, they'll stay into the dough better.

- Place them in the oven and let them bake for about 6 to 14 minutes, depending on the size of the cookies. Every oven is different -- I've noticed mine tends to bake fast. I recommend checking up on them before they reach the suggested baking time. You'll know they're done if you see a light brown color on the sides of the cookies.

- Let them cool off and enjoy!
