Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with silat baking mats.
- Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs with a hand or a stand mixer until a sticky dough forms. Stir in chocolate chips. If dough is too wet to handle, chill for 30 minutes.
- Place about 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl. Scoop 2 tablespoon sized balls of dough and coat them with powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheets. Bake immediately (or powdered sugar will dissolve) for about 10-12 minutes. Cool at least 5 minutes before removing from cookie sheets.

Notes
2026 update: Duncan Hines still has 15.25 ounce cake mixes. Betty Crocker has lowered theirs to approx 13 ounces. Betty Crocker mixes will still work as written, but will be flatter. For a puffier cookie, use Duncan Hines. Do not use any mix with less than 13 oz.
