Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 15.25 ounces vanilla cake mix (1 box)
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- ½ cup chocolate chips (up to 1 cup if desired)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two cookie sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone liners. This prevents sticking and aids even baking.
- Mix the dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a consistent batter. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
- Portion the cookies: Use a heaping tablespoon or a 1½ tablespoon cookie scoop to drop dollops of batter onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing each about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Bake the cookies: Place the cookie sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies turn a light golden color around the edges.
- Cool the cookies: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the cookie sheets for 3 minutes to firm up. Then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- You can customize the sweetness and chocolate intensity by adjusting the amount of chocolate chips from ½ cup up to 1 cup.
- For chewier cookies, slightly underbake by reducing baking time by 1-2 minutes.
- Substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Storage: Keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Consider adding nuts or dried fruit for variation if desired.
