Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
Ingredients
1 box chocolate cake mix (15.25 oz.)
### Context:
I just want to stress that you can totally make this in bulk at home using ingredients you already have.
– **1/2 cup vegetable oil**
– **2 large eggs**
– **Optional add-ins**: Chopped nuts, chocolate chips or sprinkles.
1. **Preheat the oven**:
Set a gas mark **175°C / 350°F** and place that into the preheat. To make cleanup easy, line your baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
2. **Mix the ingredients**:
**Combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl.** Mix until all are mixed well. Normal for cake mix cookies, the dough is thick and sticky.
3. **Add optional ingredients** (if desired):
You can **top** the batter with **chocolate chips**, **chopped nuts**, or **sprinkles** always just for extra flavor and texture.
4. **Shape the cookies**:
Forming the dough into rounded tablespoons, drop onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon, or a cookie scoop. You want about 2 inches between each cookie so the cookies have room to spread during the baking process.
5. **Bake the cookies**:
Place in the preheated oven for **8-10 minutes**, till the edges are set. The cookies will look slightly underdone in the centers, but they’ll firm up as the cookies cool.
6. **Cool the cookies**:
When the cookies are ready, wait about 5 minutes to allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Baking Tips
Do not underbake: For soft, chewy cookies remove them from the oven once the edges are set and the centers still appear slightly soft.
Why – Allow the dough to rest: If you can hold, cover and set the dough aside for 10–15 mins; it will improve the texture of the cookies.
Variations and Customizations
