These are the easiest cookies I have ever made! We loved the sweet taste from the cake batter (I am one of those people that would lick the bowl and beaters after my mom would make a cake). This is definitely a good recipe to keep on hand when you need a quick treat!
Cake Batter Chocolate Chip Cookies
(Recipe from Stephanie Cooks)
Ingredients:
1 (18.25 oz.) box cake mix (I used yellow, but you can use any kind you have!)
1 tsp. baking powder
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
1- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2-In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix and baking powder. Add eggs and oil, then mix until well blended. (It was a bit crumbly for me so I used my hands to really mix it well- it's not as smooth as typical dough.)
3-Stir in chocolate chips, or your choice of additions. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto cookie sheets.
4- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I would love to try these. I wonder how they compare to regular chocolate chip cookies. Thanks for the recipe!

I've made these so many times - I love them! The chocolate ones are even better!
ReplyDeleteMaking them right now!
ReplyDeleteDo you use yellow cake mix for this recipe?
ReplyDeleteI just made these with a yellow cake mix and added chocolate and peanut butter morsels (with the help of my 2 boys, ages 9 and 6). They were super easy, even for someone that cooks most entrees in the microwave. They seem homemade, from scratch! Even my hubby, who has worked as a professional sous chef, agreed! I cannot wait to try more recipes!
ReplyDeleteI am going to try them with a funfetti cake mix! After all it is Christmas time! :)
ReplyDeleteALL I CAN SAY IS AHHHH-MAZING!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you think it would help to chill the dough before placing on the cookie sheet and baking? I know that's a useful trick with regular cookie dough. I didn't know if it would matter when using cake batter. Can't wait to try this recipe!
ReplyDelete@PRiley- I think that would be a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWe made these for Christmas Eve and Christmas family celebrations this past weekend. My husband made a red velvet and chocolate chip batch of cookies and I made yellow cake and M&Ms...both were equally tasty! The red velvet didn't taste like red velvet if you're wondering. We wished we had white choc chips for them. Also, I chilled my dough/batter before baking (my hubby did not) and it didn't make a difference in how it turned out. You do need to make sure you space it out enough...they are good size cookies if you use a small scoop size.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this recipe! I made these this afternoon, and they were absolutely delicious. I made sure to link your website to my blog post here: http://bakingwithblondie.blogspot.com/2012/04/cake-batter-chocolate-chip-cookies.html. You guys are the best! Thanks again.
