Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies Recipe
Craving something sweet? This Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies Recipe uses cake mix, eggs, oil, and chocolate chips for fast, chewy cookies.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Rubber spatula or wooden spoon.
- Measuring cups (just a couple, promise)
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Cooling rack
Ingredients
- 1 box 15.25 oz / 432 g chocolate cake mix
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- ½ cup 120 ml neutral oil (vegetable or canola work best)
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or dark
- Optional: ½ teaspoon espresso powder trust me on this
- Optional: powdered sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir until everything comes together into a thick, glossy dough. It’ll feel somewhere between brownie batter and cookie dough — that’s exactly right.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and any optional add-ins. Try not to overmix; gentle is the name of the game.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. If you’re using powdered sugar, roll them generously until coated.
- Place the dough balls on your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes. The edges should look set, but the centers will still look soft. Do not overbake — this is where the magic lives.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
