If you’re looking for a quick cookie fix with minimal fuss, these Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookies are your new best friend. Using just a few simple ingredients, you can whip up a batch of warm, gooey cookies in no time. Perfect for impromptu gatherings or a spontaneous treat!
The star of these cookies is a boxed yellow cake mix, which provides a sweet and moist base without the need for measuring out flour and sugar. Vegetable oil lends moisture and richness, while eggs bind everything together, ensuring the cookies hold their shape. Semi-sweet chocolate chips offer just the right balance of sweetness and chocolatey goodness. Finally, a dash of vanilla extract enhances all the flavors, tying them together beautifully.
These cookies are delightful with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a homemade cookie sandwich. They also pair wonderfully with a glass of cold milk or a cup of hot cocoa for the ultimate comfort treat.
First things first, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is a crucial step for even baking, so don’t skip it! While the oven warms up, grab a large mixing bowl and toss in the cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs. Use a wooden spoon or an electric mixer to combine them until you have a smooth, consistent dough.
Once your dough is ready, fold in the chocolate chips and vanilla extract. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough — you want a piece of chocolate in every bite! Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the dough and drop them onto an ungreased baking sheet. Aim to space them about 2 inches apart as they will spread a bit during baking.
Pop the sheet into your preheated oven and let the cookies bake for 10 to 12 minutes. You’re looking for golden brown edges — that’s your cue to take them out. Let them sit on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes; this helps them firm up before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. And there you have it — delicious homemade cookies!
