    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    These double chocolate cookies are very easy cookies to make! I would recommend this choc chip cookie recipe to anyone no matter their baking skill level. This would be a great dessert recipe to take to a pot luck meal! This chewy cookie recipe does require some freezer time, so do factor that in. I took these to surprise my grandparents, and they loved them. This soft chocolate chip cookie recipe makes about 2 dozen cookies and is 162 kcal per serving.

    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.

    large mixing bowl
    liquid measuring cup
    cookie scoop
    9 x 13 baking sheet

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 box mix of devils food cake mix
    • ½ cup oil
    • 2 eggs
    • 8 oz chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    • Stir together first 3 ingredients until mixed throughout. Add in chocolate chips. Freeze for 30-45 minutes in the freezer.
    • After freezing time it up, using a cookie scoop, scoop 1 tablespoon dough onto a sprayed baking pan. Repeat with remaining dough. Bake at 350 degrees for around 8-12 minutes or until just hard enough to be able to scoop off pan. Do not over bake. Serve the Double Chocolate Cookies when cooled.

    Notes

    Baking note: Everyone's oven is different, so I recommend setting the timer for 8 minutes for the bake time and going from there. To me, it is best to have these chocolate chip cookies underdone and able to cook for a few extra minutes longer if needed after checking them the first time versus set the buzzer too high and have to take them out burned. Once they are burned, there is no going back.
