Instructions

Heat the oven to 350° F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, and oil until well blended. Add ½ - 1 teaspoon of Dark Blue Gel Food Color and mix into the batter.
1 white cake mix, 2 large eggs, ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon Dark Blue Gel food colorant
Stir in the white chocolate chip morsels. Scoop out 2 tablespoon scoops onto the parchment covered cookie sheet, about 2" apart. The dough will be sticky. You should have 18 to 20 cookies.
2 cups white chocolate chip morsels
Bake for 6 minutes and take the cookie sheet out of the oven. Press on some extra white chocolate chips on the tops and then put the cookie sheet back in the oven for 3 more minutes, or until you start to see golden brown on the cookie edges and morsels.
Remove and set to cool for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire rack. Serve when cool.

Notes

Be sure to use the white cookie mix. The others have tint of yellow in them, and the blue colorant will then give you shades of turquoise or teal, not a true blue.
You can use 4 egg whites instead of the 2 eggs if the yolks of your eggs are extremely orange (due to being free range!).
White chocolate browns easily, but it is also a clue the cookies are ready to come out of the oven. As soon as you see any browning on the white chocolate chips, remove the cookie tray.
