Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, empty the entire box of chocolate cake mix. Ensure there are no large lumps by gently breaking them up with a whisk or fork.
- Add vegetable oil and eggs to the cake mix. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend ingredients thoroughly, mixing for about 2 minutes until a thick, smooth dough forms.
- Fold in chocolate chips using a spatula, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough. The chips will add extra richness and chocolatey texture.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow room for spreading.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. The cookies should look slightly underbaked in the center, with edges that are set and lightly cracked.
- Remove from oven and let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, which allows them to firm up slightly.
- Transfer cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. They will continue to set and become chewier as they cool.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For best texture, place a piece of bread in the container to help maintain moisture.
Tips
- For ultra-soft cookies, slightly underbake them. The centers should look slightly gooey when you remove them from the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking. This ensures all cookies cook consistently.
- Don't overmix the dough - blend just until ingredients are incorporated to keep cookies tender.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring. This helps them set and prevents breaking.
- Experiment with mix-ins! Try adding nuts, different chocolate chips, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for extra flavor.
- Store with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft and prevent them from drying out.
- For best results, use room temperature eggs which blend more smoothly into the cake mix.
