Description
This easy and delicious Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies recipe combines the convenience of a boxed cake mix with the indulgence of white chocolate chips to create soft, flavorful cookies in under 30 minutes. Perfect for quickly satisfying your sweet tooth with minimal ingredients and effort.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (432 grams, 1 standard box)
Wet Ingredients
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil (66 grams)
- 2 large eggs (100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
Add-ins
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (340 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and ensure even baking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a smooth dough forms.
- Fold in Chips: Gently fold in the white chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough without breaking them apart.
- Form Dough Balls: Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the dough into 2-inch balls. Place six balls on each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 9-11 minutes. You'll know they're done when the tops start to look dry and the edges become slightly crispy.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. This allows them to firm up before transferring.
- Transfer to Cooling Rack: After initial cooling, transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely, preventing sogginess on the bottom.
- Serve and Enjoy: Repeat baking with remaining dough and serve the cookies fresh for the best soft and chewy texture.
Notes
- Make sure not to overbake the cookies to maintain their soft texture.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips with regular chocolate chips, but the flavor profile will change.
- If the dough is too sticky, chill it for 15 minutes before shaping to make it easier to handle.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For a festive twist, try adding nuts or dried fruits to the dough along with the chocolate chips.
