Chocolate Dr. Pepper Cookies

1 box chocolate cake mix (I used Betty Crocker Super Moist Devil’s Food Chocolate)

¾ c Dr. Pepper

1-2 TBsp instant coffee

2 tsp vanilla

½ c chocolate chips (optional – you could add chopped nuts)

----------------------------------------------------------------

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Mix the first 4 ingredients in a large bowl. Fold in the chocolate chips. Using an ice cream scope, scope out each cookie and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.  Let cool on tray for 5 minutes. Remove the cookies to a wire rack to completely cool.
