Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix
  • 2 eggs large
  • 0.5 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 1 large rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and vegetable oil until combined.
  4. Stir in the cake mix until no dry pockets remain.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-tablespoon portions and arrange them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet; bake in batches if needed.
  7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft.
  8. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Let the baking sheet cool before baking another batch.

Notes

For soft centers, take the cookies out when the edges are set and the centers still look slightly soft. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. For a gluten-free variation, use a gluten-free chocolate cake mix.
