Ingredients you’ll need
Here’s a list of ingredients you’ll need to make these cookies. You can find my recipe card at the bottom of this post for the complete list with their amounts.
- 1 box (15.25oz / 432g) vanilla cake mix: I used Betty Crocker – Super Moist French Vanilla Cake Mix.
- Vegetable oil
- Large eggs: You’ll need 2.
- Chocolate chips: Milk, dark, or semi-sweet.
How to make Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
To make these cookies, simply start by grabbing a large mixing bowl. Mix together the vanilla cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
TIP: For looks, top the cookie dough balls with a few extra chocolate chips before baking.
Bake for 10 – 12 minutes. The cookies will be VERY soft, but will firm up as they cool.
Allow to cool on the baking tray for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
The printable recipe card with the full list of ingredients, their measurements, and instructions can be found at the bottom of this post.
NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements. Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
These Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies are:
- super quick and easy to make
- deliciously thick, soft, and chewy
- loaded with chocolate chips
- perfectly flavoured with vanilla
- the most EASIEST cookies you’ll ever make!
How long will these cake mix cookies last? These cookies will stay fresh, kept in an airtight container, at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Want freshly-baked cookies every time? Cookie dough balls can be kept in the fridge for up to 5 days, or frozen for up to 3 months. Bake straight from frozen.
Try different add-ins! Try white chocolate chips with macadamia nuts, or a mix of milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate chunks, OR even a bunch of your favourite sprinkles!
