Description

These Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies are rich, chewy, and loaded with chocolate chips. Using a shortcut from Devil’s food cake mix, they’re quick to whip up and deeply chocolatey—perfect for cookie lovers and chocoholics alike!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 115g (½ cup / 1 stick) unsalted butter

  • 50g (¼ cup) brown sugar

  • 50g (¼ cup) caster sugar or granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 large egg

  • 140g (1 cup) plain or all-purpose flour

  • 20g (¼ cup) cocoa powder

  • 175g (1¼ cups) Devil’s chocolate cake mix

  • Pinch of salt

  • 150g (1 cup) milk chocolate chips


Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and caster sugar until creamy and smooth.

  • Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing until fully combined.

  • Sift in the flour, cocoa powder, and cake mix. Add a pinch of salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  • Fold in the milk chocolate chips evenly.

  • Scoop dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place on the baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart.

  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still look slightly soft.

 

  • Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra gooey cookies, slightly underbake and let them finish setting on the tray.

You can use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
