Chocolate Covered Coconut Cake Mix Cookies (Mounds Cookies)

1) Mix cake mix, all the oil, and eggs together by hand.

2) Slowly add the coconut flakes a little at a time continueing to mix the dough by hand.

3) The dough will be thick and sticky, if it is too thick, you can add one more TBSP of oil.

4) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

5) Roll dough into small balls and drop onto parchment paper.

6) Press the balls down firmly with your hand. If the dough balls are not pressed down, the cookie will not cook properly. They did not spread out evenly on their own.

7) Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes.

8) Since ovens vary, you may want to keep an eye on your first batch. The cookies should cook to a light golden color.

9) Place cookies on a cooling rack immediately once they are cooked and allow them to cool for about ten minutes.

10) Once the cookies have cooled, melt one of the German's Sweet Chocolate bars by breaking it in half and microwaving it for 60 seconds and then stiring it with a spoon to get it smooth.

11) Dip the top portion of the cookie into the chocolate and place the cookie on wax paper to allow the chocolate to dry.

12) One chocolate bar should cover about 12 cookies really well.

13) I made 36 medium size cookies, but you could adjust for size if you like.

14) If the chocolate is not getting hard you can place the cookies in the fridge, or even in the freezer for just a few minutes.

15) This could take a while to finish 36 cookies, depending on how many cookie sheets you have.
