Ingredients in Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
This recipe only uses 5 ingredients. It doesn’t get much easier than that! These cookies turn out soft and moist and you will think that they were made entirely from scratch! Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact measurements.
Chocolate Cake Mix: This is the secret ingredient that makes this recipe so chocolatey and easy! Baking Powder: This helps the cookies to rise and have a soft texture. Vegetable Oil: This makes the cookies nice and moist. Eggs: Let your eggs sit out and come to room temperature before you mix them in. Chocolate Chips: You can use chocolate or semi-sweet. Whichever you like best!
Let’s Bake Some Cookies!
I love adding some chocolate chips to this recipe to really take these chocolate cake mix cookies over the top and make them seem like I made them entirely from scratch!
Underbake the Cookies: Bake until the edges are just set. The center will look underbaked, but it will continue to cook as the cookies cool. If you bake the cookies until the centers look baked, they will cool and be hard instead of soft.Mix-ins: Switch up the chocolate chips! This chocolate cookie provides a nice base for all kinds of chips. Try butterscotch or peanut butter chips, white chocolate chips, or even dark chocolate chips! A favorite option at our house is to swap them out for mint chips for a mint chocolate cookie!
Room Temperature: Once your cookies have cooled then place them in an airtight container. They will last on your counter at room temperature for up to 5 days!
