Chocolate Cake Mix Cookie Recipe

Alright, alright. Where are my parents that love being able to have cookies ready for their kids but don’t have the time to make them from scratch? (Me!) These cookies are for you! They only take a few ingredients, and you can just dump it all into the bowl, mix it up, and voila! You have moist, soft, and delicious cookies!

We can easily change up the flavors (I love these lemon cookies!), and you can always add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even add a delicious glaze on top. Trust me. You won’t ever go back after you try these chocolate cookies!

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!

1. Prep: Preheat the oven to 350℉ and line two baking sheets with parchment paper, and then set it aside.
2. Combine: In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, baking powder, vegetable oil, and eggs until a thick batter forms. Then, add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly dispersed throughout the batter.
3. Scoop: Use a cookie scoop to scoop dough into cookie dough balls onto the baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between cookies.
4. Bake: Bake for 8-10 minutes until the edges are set. If using a large cookie scoop, the cookies may need 19-11 minutes for the edges to set. The center of the cookies will look underbaked, but they will continue to cook as they cool. Overbaking will result in crunchy cookies. Remove to a cooling rack and cool completely.
