How to Make Cake Mix Cookies

I don’t make many things with cake mixes, but when I do, it’s usually chocolate chip cake mix cookies and it’s usually because I have cake mixed in my pantry that are going to expire. I love buying cake mixes and thinking that I am going to get around to making all sorts of lovely recipes with them – and then reality sets in. No you’re not, Karlynn, because you buy those cake mixes spur of the moment and then they get lost in your pantry until you do a pantry purge. Then you panic. Sounds about right! The type of chocolate chips vary from cookie to cookie, all depending on what I have in the pantry at the time.

Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Get out a 9×13 pan but do not grease.
Combine the first four ingredients in a large bowl. Beat with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Stir in the chocolate chips.
Pat the dough into the 9×13 cake pan in an even layer.
Bake in the oven for 19-22 minutes or until the edges are baked and the middle has JUST set and cooked. You want these fudgy and delicious!
Remove and cool for 10 minutes, then slice into cookie bars. Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days at room temp.

Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookies Tips & Tricks

You can use any type of chocolate chip that you want in these cookies and I mean it. Semi-sweet, white chocolate, cherry, whatever you have lying around the pantry, throw them in!
Try to use the Devil’s food cake mix as it is the richest chocolate cake mix out there. It really punches home that chocolate oooomph!
I would totally use walnuts in this recipe except I am the only one in my household that likes walnuts in my cookies. Actually, I lied, my 14 year old son will eat anything ( because he’s 14, duh) so he would hoover them up in no time. I need a second job to feed that kid.
Don’t over bake the cookies. These are so good because they are chewy from slight under baking. Remember, you only have to get the cookies to 165 °F in order to kill any bacteria from the eggs/flour and you are safe to eat them!
