Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (432 grams or 1 standard box)
Wet Ingredients
- â…“ cup vegetable oil (66 grams)
- 2 large eggs (100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
Add-ins
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (340 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside to ensure easy cookie removal and cleanup.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the dough is smooth and uniform without any dry spots.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the cookie dough to evenly distribute them without breaking the chips.
- Shape Cookies: Form the dough into 2-inch balls using your hands or a cookie scoop. Place 6 balls on each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow spreading during baking.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes. The cookies are done when the tops have started to dry out and the edges become crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely. Repeat with remaining dough and enjoy your fresh cookies!
Notes
- Ensure not to overbake for softer cookie centers; edges should be crispy and tops dry.
- You can substitute white chocolate chips for regular or semi-sweet chocolate chips for variation.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- For added texture, consider folding in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on desired quantity.
