Ingredients:
- Cake mix – this is what makes the batter.
- Eggs – regular eggs will work
- Chocolate chips – I used Nestle, but Hershey works too
How to make chocolate cake mix cookies:
- Beat together all ingredients except chocolate chips, then gently stir in the chocolate chips.
- Freeze the dough for 30 minutes
- After 30 minutes, scoop dough onto sprayed baking sheet using a cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon. Bake!
Do I HAVE to freeze the double chocolate cookies dough?
Since this chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe is made out of cake mix, yes. I find that freezing the dough is the most helpful in the formation of the cookies. Without freezing it, the dough would be more runny like cake mix.
How will I know when my cookies are done?
I believe my cookies are done when the edges are firm and slightly more brown than the rest of the cookie. When I take my pan out of the oven, I leave my cookies on the pan for 1 extra minute to finish baking. They may look underbaked, but when the edges are firm it is best to take them out before they burn. Then, I remove them from the pan and place onto a cooling rack. Do not wait longer than 1 minute to remove the cookies from the pan. This will result in them being extremely hard to get off.
How to store soft chocolate chip cookies:
If the double chocolate cookies recipe is already made:
- Eat right away – store this double chocolate cookies recipe in an air tight container at room temperature for one week
- Eat later – these cookies are freezable! Store in a freezer safe container in the freezer for about a month.
If it is just the double chocolate cookies recipe dough:
- If you want to make the dough and use it at a later time, it keeps very well covered in the freezer! This way you can have the dough made in advance, and can make these quick double chocolate cookies even quicker when you want them.
