Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups pancake mix
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer or whisk. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Blend in the vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the pancake mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth cookie dough forms. Mix just until the ingredients are incorporated to avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers look set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened at room temperature for easy mixing, and use fresh eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the pancake mix with the wet ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies.
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This can enhance the flavor and help the cookies maintain their shape.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies! Try adding nuts, dried fruit, or different types of chocolate for a unique twist.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies while they bake. Ovens can vary, so check them a minute or two early to ensure they don’t overbake.
- Store Properly: To keep your cookies fresh, store them in an airtight container. They can last up to 5 days at room temperature, but they’re so good, they might not last that long!
