Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs in a bowl.
- Stir in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Drop teaspoonfuls of batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
- If desired, top each cookie with a pecan piece.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute, then remove.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of salt or some vanilla extract to the batter. If you don't have pecans, walnuts or almonds can be good substitutes. For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free cake mix. Ensure your cookie sheet is ungreased to prevent spreading. If the dough is too sticky, refrigerate it for about 30 minutes before baking.
Serving Suggestions
These Double Chocolate Nougats are delightful on their own but can be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. They also pair well with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee. For a festive touch, serve them on a platter with Aunt Liza Ellen'S Cookies to impress your guests.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Double Chocolate Nougats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Place layers of parchment paper between the cookies to prevent sticking, and seal them in a freezer bag. To enjoy them warm, reheat in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate chips?
Yes, you can experiment with milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips depending on your preference. Just keep in mind that the sweetness may vary, so adjust sugar if necessary.
What should I do if the dough is too runny?
If your batter seems too runny, try adding a little more cake mix, a tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, refrigerate the batter for about 30 minutes to help it firm up.
How can I make these cookies more chewy?
To achieve a chewier texture, you can add an extra egg yolk to the mixture or slightly underbake the cookies. This will keep them soft and chewy in the center while still having a nice outer crust.
