Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs until well combined.
- Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Drop spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12 to 15 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a pinch of salt to the dough. If you don't have cake mix on hand, you can use a homemade chocolate cake batter instead. For a fun twist, try incorporating nuts or dried fruit. Ensure your cookie sheet is truly ungreased for optimal texture, as this helps the cookies crisp up nicely.
Serving Suggestions
These double chocolate cookies pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a delightful dessert spread, serve them alongside a slice of Dutch Apple Pie or some Fuzzy Navel Cake. Consider adding a fresh fruit salad or Foam Green Salad as a refreshing side.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze them in a zip-top bag for up to three months. To reheat, place the cookies in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes to restore their softness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of cake mix for this recipe?
Yes, you can use any flavor of cake mix, but chocolate or devil's food cake mixes will maintain the chocolatey theme. Just note that the flavor and texture might vary slightly depending on the mix you choose.
What can I do if my cookie dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels too sticky to handle, try chilling it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will firm it up, making it easier to scoop and shape. Additionally, you can lightly dust your hands with flour when forming the cookies.
How can I make these cookies more fudgy?
For fudgier cookies, reduce the baking time by a couple of minutes. This will keep them soft and chewy in the center. You can also increase the amount of chocolate chips to enhance the chocolate flavor and texture.
