I’m a big fan of cake mix cookies. My love affair with them first started when I made these Red Velvet Crinkles a couple of years ago. I love them because they are just so easy whip up without much work. No mixer or softening butter needed here. Done from start to finish in almost no time. The perfect recipe for the novice baker or even the experienced baker who wants a cookie with less work.
These super chocolate-y treasures have become a new favorite of mine and I hope that they will become a favorite of yours too. Bake up a batch for someone you love today! They will love you back for it…just make sure you set a few aside for yourself!
- 1 - 16.5 oz. box Devil's Food Cake Mix (or any chocolate variety you like)
- 9 TBS unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg, slightly beaten
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup milk chocolate chips
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use a silpat. Set aside.
- In large bowl, combine the cake mix, melted butter and egg with an electric mixer or wooden spoon until mixer comes together to form a dough.
- Stir in the white, milk and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Drop by TBS onto prepared baking sheet, placing about 2" apart. Press tops down slightly with fingers.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until set. DO NOT overbake. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
- Yield: About 3 doz. cookies

These look incredible, Renee! I’d like to bake up a batch just for myself. No sharing! 🙂

haha…luckily they don’t make a tremendous amount of cookies so you can bake up a batch for yourself and not feel too guilty about enjoying them!

I adore cake box cookies too. These look so scrumptious!

I love cookies made with cake mixes. Back in the 70’s one of my friends made cake mix cookies with cool whip. They were out of this world. I had never heard of them before. She got the recipe from her mom.Made the red velvet cookies this week and took them to some shut in’s from our church.
