How to Make Cookies With Chocolate Cake Mix

Enjoy Eating

Use any flavor or any type of cake mix and whip up a batch or two of cookies. While the recipe is the same, change the look, taste and flavor of the cookie by changing what you add to the cookie mix. This recipe is using chocolate cake mix with chocolate chips, but feel to free to use any flavor and any type of ingredient according to the occasion and taste desired.

Things You'll Need

• 18 oz. pkg. chocolate cake mix
• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 egg with 2 tbsp. water added

Instructions

1. 

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees when you start to mix together all the ingredients. This will shorten the baking time as the oven will be hot enough by the time you have finished making the cookie dough.

2. 

   Take a large metal or glass bowl and toss in all of the ingredients--including the chocolate cake mix. Using a wooden spoon or a fork, lightly blend all the wet ingredients together. Then mix the wet mixture with the dry ingredients. Use an electric mixer (at low speed) instead of a spoon if you prefer.

3. 

   Check to see if all of the dry ingredients have been moistened, and make sure that that it has been completely mixed with the dry cake mix. Fold the chocolate chips into the dough in the bowl. This step might be easier to do using a wooden mixing spoon than an electric mixer.

4. 

   Take out the cookie sheet, if you have not already done so. Use a tablespoon and dip it into the cookie dough. Scoop up about a rounded tablespoon of the dough and drop it onto the cookie sheet, leaving a space of about 2 inches between the dough. This gives the cookies space to expand as they bake. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Insert a toothpick into one of the cookies to make sure that it is completely baked. Remove from the oven and place on a rack to cool.

Tips & Warnings

• Instead of chocolate chips, you can add chopped nuts, pieces of candy, cut up gummy bears or anything according to taste. If desired, use any flavor canned frosting and frost the cookies, adding sprinkles on top. Make sandwich cookies by spreading frosting on top of one cookie and adding a cookie on top of that one. This recipe will work for any flavor or type of Cake Mix.
