If you're craving something sweet and chocolatey but don't want to spend hours in the kitchen, this cake mix cookies recipe is for you. With just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of rich, chewy cookies that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The best part? You can get creative with your favorite add-ins, like chocolate chips or nuts, to make these cookies uniquely yours. Let's get baking!
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix box
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter for a richer flavor)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (optional mix-in for extra chocolaty goodness)
- Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Combine Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, pour in the chocolate cake mix. Add the eggs and vegetable oil (or melted butter if you prefer a richer flavor).
- Stir Together
Using a wooden spoon or a hand mixer, mix the ingredients together until a smooth dough forms. If you're adding chocolate chips or any other mix-ins, fold them in gently at this stage.
- Shape the Dough
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, portion out the dough into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
- Place on Baking Sheet
Place the dough balls on an ungreased baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each one to allow for spreading.
- Bake
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still soft in the center. Avoid overbaking to keep them nice and chewy.
- Cool on Sheet
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. This helps them set and makes them easier to transfer.
- Transfer to Rack
After 5 minutes, move the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy
Once the cake mix cookies are fully cooled, enjoy them with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage. They’re delicious on their own or with a scoop of ice cream.
- Depending on the sweetness of your cake mix, you can customize by adding a pinch of salt to balance flavors, or reduce sugar if using additional sweet mix-ins.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake them and let them cool on the baking sheet. For crispier edges, bake a minute or two longer and cool completely on a wire rack.
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors and mix-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or white chocolate chips to create unique cookie variations.
- Once cooled, drizzle melted chocolate or dust with powdered sugar for added flair and flavor.
Have Fun Baking!
