Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies are a quick and delicious treat that combines the ease of cake mix with the comfort of homemade cookies.

With just a handful of ingredients and minimal prep time, these cookies come together effortlessly, making them perfect for last-minute desserts or when you’re short on time. Soft, chewy, and studded with melty chocolate chips and crunchy walnuts, they’re sure to become a family favourite.

Whether for a bake sale, a party, or simply to satisfy your sweet tooth, these cookies deliver big on flavour with hardly any effort.

Tips for Success

1. Don’t Overbake: Keep a close eye on the cookies. They should be lightly golden at the edges and set on top. Overbaking can make them dry.
2. Room Temperature Ingredients: Using room temperature eggs ensures a smoother dough that mixes evenly.
3. Mix-Ins: Customize the cookies by swapping or adding mix-ins like white chocolate chips, dried fruit, or butterscotch chips.
4. Consistency: The dough will be thicker than traditional cookie dough. Use a cookie scoop or lightly greased hands to form balls for uniformity.
5. Cooling: Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent breaking.

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Vanilla Cake Mix: Acts as the base for the cookies, providing sweetness and structure. Substitute with any flavour of cake mix like chocolate or spice for a twist.
• Eggs: Helps bind the ingredients. For a vegan alternative, use flaxseed eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg).
• Oil: Adds moisture and richness. Can be replaced with melted butter or coconut oil for a different flavour profile.
• Semisweet Chocolate Chips: The classic choice for chocolatey goodness. Swap with milk, dark, or white chocolate chips, or use chunks for variety.
• Walnuts: Adds crunch and a nutty flavour. Replace with pecans, almonds, or leave out for a nut-free version.
