Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) box chocolate cake mix (devils food or chocolate fudge)

- ½ cup M&Ms or peanut butter chips
Extras:
(No additional extras)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat for optimal cookie performance.
- In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs, vigorously stirring until a cohesive, malleable dough emerges.
- Enhance the cookie base by gently incorporating additional ingredients like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for extra texture and flavor complexity.
- Craft uniform cookie portions by delicately rolling the dough into compact, one-inch spheres, strategically positioning them two inches apart on the prepared baking surface.
- Transfer the cookie-laden sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the treats to transform for 9-11 minutes – watch for slightly crisp edges while maintaining a tender, soft center.
- After removing from the oven, permit the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a brief two-minute interval, which allows for slight structural stabilization.
- Carefully relocate the cookies to a wire cooling rack, enabling complete cooling and ensuring a perfect, delicate texture throughout the entire batch.
Notes
- Customize mix-ins to create endless flavor variations like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit.
- Swap vegetable oil with melted coconut oil for a richer taste and potential dairy-free option.
- Use gluten-free cake mix to make the recipe suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Experiment with different cake mix flavors like red velvet or funfetti for unique cookie experiences.
