Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) box chocolate cake mix (devils food or chocolate fudge)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Mix-Ins (Optional):

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • ½ cup chopped nuts
  • ½ cup M&Ms or peanut butter chips

Extras:

(No additional extras)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven environment by heating to 350F (175C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat for optimal cookie performance.
  2. In a spacious mixing vessel, amalgamate the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs, vigorously stirring until a cohesive, malleable dough emerges.
  3. Enhance the cookie base by gently incorporating additional ingredients like chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or sprinkles for extra texture and flavor complexity.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
