Ingredients  

  • 1 (16.25-oz.) box white or yellow cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips, divided

Instructions 

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cake mix, eggs and vegetable oil then stir in 3/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips. 
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat baking mats. 
  • Remove the dough from the fridge and using two spoons or a small ice cream scoop, portion out about 2 tablespoons of the dough into mounds on the baking sheet, spacing the mounds at least 2 inches apart. Add the remaining 1/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips to the tops of the mounds.
  • Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes until they are pale golden. Remove them from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes until set. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely. 

Kelly's Notes:

  • Any brand of cake mix will work for this recipe, as long as it’s either 15.25 or 16.25 ounces. I prefer the ones with pudding in the mix because the resulting cookies are extra moist. 
  • Removing the cookies from the oven while they’e slightly underbaked will ensure a soft and chewy texture.
