How to Make Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Step 1. First, preheat the oven.
Step 2. Mix the cake mix, oil and eggs in a large bowl. Combine the ingredients together except the chocolate chips. The batter will be thick but that is normal.
Step 3. Next, fold in the chocolate chips in the mixing bowl.
Step 4. Finally, scoop the cookie dough on the baking sheet by the spoonful. I like to use a cookie scoop to do this.
Step 5. Bake the cookies until they get just slightly brown around the edges. Let them cool for several minutes on the baking sheet before you move them to a cooling rack.
