Chocolate Chip Cake Mix Cookies

I’m making them now,but I used extra dark chocolate baking chips,and pumpkin spice chips,really chocolaty,but that’s ok I’m a chocoholic,so the more chocolate the better!!

I had to make a batch of cookies in a hurry so decided on this one. I have never used a cake mix for cookies as I have always felt a cake is a cake and cookies are cookies, both making from scratch whenever possible. Having said that….they did taste better than I expected and although I may not use this method as my absolute go to, I definitely would in a pinch. I used a Devil’s Food (with pudding in mix) and mini Hershey baking kisses in place of the chocolate chips. Other than that everything was per recipe. Recipe yielded 45 cookies on the small to medium size for me.

As far as cake mix cookies go, these are about as good as they get. (I intended to eat one for reviewing purposes and ate two instead) As I always do with other similar cake mix cookie recipes, I swapped out the oil for butter and still added another 2 T. of oil. I also added a teaspoon each of chocolate and vanilla extracts. The stir-ins, I’m sure the submitter would agree, are so versatile – clean out your cabinets of odds and ends I say! In this case I did use the raisins, but I threw in a couple of handfuls of “bottom of the box” Rice Krispies for the oatmeal, and about half a bag of mini M&Ms for the mini chocolate chips. After chilling the dough about an hour, I made them a little bigger than specified using a small scoop, flattened them slightly, and baked them JUST until set, about 12 minutes. They turn out soft, chewy and uniformly round. And pretty darned good. And, at least with this chocolate version, you don’t detect that “cake mix taste.”

This is a WONDERFUL go to recipe. I’ve made different variations. So far, friends and family like lemon cake mix and white chocolate chips. I LOVED using sugar free chocolate cake mix and sugar free chocolate chips. You can always use egg substitute and applesauce to cut even more calories. My mom is diabetic and this was a treat for her. Thanks again for this easy, go to, recipe.

i am giving 4 stars for the nice idea, i wasnt impressed by the tast, felt no differnce from the cake, the look of these cookies wasnt really attractive, but for a chocolate lover this is a hit. Thanks though for the recipe.

These are like brownies, if you use devils food cake mix, but it allows you to make a few at a time rather than a whole pan. These are great because for one thing, they mix up in about 5 min. if that. And good and chocolate-y. I added walnuts instead of raisins.

Great recipe! Perfect when you just want to make a couple dozen cookies without a great big mess. I made these with chocolate cake mix, craisins, and mini chocolate chips. They were very sweet! You could use any type of cake mix with complimenting mix-ins. I drizzled pink frosting in stripes across the top and used pink and red sprinkles to make them look more fancy.

As is written it is 2 stars; adjusted it is 5 stars. I baked the first batch 10 minutes and because there were warnings to not overbake, I took them out of the oven. Even after they cooled they could be rolled up in dough balls. I baked the next batch 15 minutes and they were perfect and quite good. I like them mae with dried cranberries and white chocolate chips.

I subbed in walnuts instead of raisins but other than that I followed it exactly. They were quite yummy and everyone loved them.

These were very good, I made large cookies for a bake sale and they turned out beautiful.I got about a dozen per batch due to the size of the cookies I made. I omitted the raisins because I just don’t like raisins.

Great recipe for the not-so-great bakers out there. Super easy, I made two batches (produced 120 stone-sized cookies) and brought them into work after frosting with fall colors for the first day of autumn. They were a hit and I love them because they stayed soft! I omitted the raisins, and next time I may omit the chocolate chips (although they were tasty with-I prefer plain cookies). Try this recipe!

They had great flavor but were a bit on he messy side. Choclate chip seems to be too much. I will try again with less chips or maybe even mini m&m’s

I’ll start out by saying, I typed in fast & easy cookies in the search box to see what might pop up because, I needed a fast & easy cookie recipe ASAP! None came up so I searched and found this one in no time, and am glad to say it should be under fast & easy cookie. I followed tips from others and used crasins and added 1/4 c. water. Thank You for submitting this recipe, it was just what I needed, when I needed it!

I tried adding pudding mix to the recipe like the one reviewer mentioned – but I didn’t add enough or I added too much. Did you make the pudding and then added it? Or did you just add the powder? Curious. Great cookies when I followed the original

Who knew you could make cookies so easily. My new favorite quick treat for the kids or if I have to take cookies somewhere. My favorite is a white cake mix with M&Ms. Not the most amazing flavor but 5 stars for simplicity.

Great cookie!.. I used half the oats because it was all I had and didn’t add raisins or anything because I frosted them for St. Patricks Day! Thanks!..

these little things are addictive! My little boy calls them “brownie cookies”

I accidentally got a cake mix without pudding, and being afraid it would hurt the recipe, I made homemade pudding for the cookies and they turned out AMAZING!

These cookies are awesome and they are so easy!

these cookies are really good, easy to make and stay soft and fresh for a really long time!!!!! I used the chocolate cake mix and they turned out awesome!

My family didn’t like this at all! It tasted like something was missing. Sorry
