Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies Recipe (aka Cheater Cookies!)
Description
This easy recipe starts by mixing a packaged devil’s food cake mix with vegetable oil and eggs until smooth, creating a moist cookie dough base. Chocolate chips fold into the batter, providing pockets of melted richness after baking.
Cookies are shaped into small balls and placed onto lined baking sheets. Optionally, pressing them lightly with a fork can flatten them for a more uniform shape. They bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-14 minutes, until edges set but centers remain soft.
Once removed from the oven, the cookies are allowed to cool slightly before being transferred to a rack to finish cooling. Their texture is tender and moist with chocolate notes from both cake mix and chips. They can be enjoyed warm or stored for later snacking.
Ingredients
- 1 devil's food cake mix package
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 2 egg large
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
Get prepped
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (such as Silpat).
Mix the dough
- In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until smooth and well mixed. Stir in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Shape the cookies
- Roll the dough into balls (about 1-1.5 tablespoons each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten (optional)
- If desired, press each cookie ball lightly with a fork to flatten slightly.
Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, until the cookies are set around the edges.
Cool and serve
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Devour while warm or store for later!
