Ingredients

  • 15.25 ounces dry cake mix 432 grams (1 box)
  • ½ cup vegetable oil 100 grams

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.

  • Add the dry cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs to a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer to combine. I like to use a hand mixer, but this can also be done with a rubber spatula.

  • Scoop out 1½ tablespoon portions onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.

  • Immediately when the cookies come out of the oven, tap the tray gently on the counter a few times. This will deflate the center of the cookies so they become soft and chewy.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the pan and then remove them to an airtight container.

Notes

  • Try a different flavor of cake mix, such as chocolate, funfetti, butter pecan, red velvet or strawberry!
  • Change up the mix ins. Try sprinkles, chopped up candy pieces, M&Ms, flavored baking chips, toffee pieces, or chopped nuts.
  • Sprinkle the cookies with a bit of coarse salt before baking for a salty-sweet cookie!
  • Dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate!
  • Make cookie sandwiches by filling 2 cookies with vanilla or chocolate frosting.
  • Line the baking sheets with parchment to keep the cookies from sticking.
  • To get evenly-sized cookies, use a cookie portion scoop.
  • For picture-perfect cookies, press a few chocolate chips into the top of each cookie before baking.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing. 
Storage: Store cake mix chocolate chip cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
