Double Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies

Cookies made from a cake mix – so rich in chocolate flavor and soft on the inside. So delicious that you can’t get enough of it.

Whether you’re a Mom, someone who loves cooking or baking or a foodie, you can’t get enough of buying in bulk – may it be ingredients or just food to munch on.

It was one of those moments (again!) that my ingredient buddies want to end their lives. That time, it was the cake mix. I don’t know if I want to complicate stuff or my life, but I want something out of the cake mix which is not a cake or cupcakes. I bought the cake mix for something else I could not remember until it reaches the point of giving up. After battling with my own thoughts, I opted for cookies. Well, because I am a cookie monster. 😀 The source recipe calls for white and chocolate chips, but I had only chocolate.

Ingredients:

- ½ cup butter, unsalted & softened to room temperature

- 1 egg

- 1 packet instant coffee dissolved in 2 tbps water

- 1 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

- ½ tsp vanilla extract

- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 ½ cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

In a bowl, beat butter until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
Add egg, coffee mixture, oil and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Gradually add the cake mix until well incorporated.
Add in chocolate chips.
Place in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up or up to overnight.
Preheat your oven to 350 F. Prepare baking sheet(s) lined with parchment paper.
When the dough is firm, take out from the fridge. Scoop out about 1 & 1/2 tbsp and form into balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the oven and leave on the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool further.

After baking these cookies, I just wanted to stuff everything in my mouth. They are so good that you’d never get enough of them. They are like cake, brownies and cookies in one. They are absolutely delicious! And admit it, it’s not complicated.
