Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies Recipe
Description
This cookie recipe simplifies traditional cookie-making by using prepared chocolate cake mix as the dry base. The addition of vegetable oil and eggs provides moisture and structure without needing extra flour or leavening agents. Folding in chocolate chips enhances the chocolate flavor and adds melty pockets of added richness.
The cookies are portioned into golf-ball sized dough balls spaced about an inch apart on a prepared baking sheet, allowing them to spread properly without merging. Baking at 350°F for 16-18 minutes yields cookies with set edges and soft centers.
These cookies serve well as a quick dessert or snack, balancing a moist crumb with pockets of melted chocolate. Cooling on a rack preserves their texture, and the recipe is easily adjusted for sweetness by increasing chocolate chips.
Storage advice includes room temperature keeping for three days or freezing for longer preservation. Baking tips mention spacing dough to prevent cookies merging and preference options for serving warm or fully cooled cookies.
Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (1 box)
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg yolk
- 1 egg large
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk the dry cake mix, vegetable oil, egg yolks, and egg together.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Scoop golfball-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart.
- Bake cookies for 16-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and place onto a cooling rack to cool.
Notes
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
- Space dough balls 1-2 inches apart on the baking sheet to avoid merging during baking.
- To increase sweetness, add an extra half cup of chocolate chips.
- For warm cookies, allow cooling for only 5 to 10 minutes before serving; otherwise, cool completely on a rack for firmer texture.
