Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and place an oven rack in the center position. Set the prepared sheets aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine 15.25 ounces dry cake mix, ½ cup vegetable oil, and 2 large eggs. Use a hand mixer on low–medium speed until no dry streaks remain, or stir thoroughly with a rubber spatula until evenly combined.
  • Gently fold 1 cup chocolate chips into the dough until they are evenly distributed.
  • Using a 1½-tablespoon scoop or spoon, portion the dough and place scoops about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake on the center rack for 15–18 minutes, or until the cookie edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Immediately after removing the baking sheet from the oven, tap the sheet gently on the counter a few times to deflate the cookie centers and create a soft, chewy texture.
  • Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet, then transfer them to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Try a different flavor of cake mix, such as chocolate, funfetti, butter pecan, red velvet or strawberry!
Change up the mix ins. Try sprinkles, chopped up candy pieces, M&Ms, flavored baking chips, toffee pieces, or chopped nuts.
Sprinkle the cookies with a bit of coarse salt before baking for a salty-sweet cookie!
Dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate!
Make cookie sandwiches by filling 2 cookies withvanillaorchocolate frosting.
Line the baking sheets with parchment to keep the cookies from sticking.
To get evenly-sized cookies, use a cookie portion scoop.
For picture-perfect cookies, press a few chocolate chips into the top of each cookie before baking.
Let the cookies cool completely before storing.
