Ingredients

  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter melted
  • 1 15.25 ounce box chocolate cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups (255g) chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Place butter, cake mix, and eggs in a large bowl. Stir or mix until combined and no lumps remain. Stir in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop 2-tablespoon balls of cookie dough onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or silicone baking mats. No need to space them; we are chilling the dough. Chill for at least 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a second cookie sheet with parchment or silicone baking mat.
  • Space cookies 2-inches apart on cookie sheets. If using Betty Crocker mix, press them lightly with your palm before baking to flatten slightly. Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until they just lose their glossy sheen. These cookies stay puffy and will settle a bit as they cool but don’t become flat.
  • Immediately after removing from the oven press a few more chocolate chips on top for decoration. Cool at least 10 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

  • Use any brand or flavor cake mix that is approximately 15-16 ounces in size.
  • Use any chocolate flavor (devil’s food, milk chocolate, etc).
  • You can do this same recipe using sugar-free cake mix as long as it’s around the same size box.
