My spouse got a bunch of cake mixes on special recently during a grocery run and instead of making cake, I made these fabulous Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies.
Just as you would expect, super easy to make needing only 5 simple ingredients, and bake time is a little quicker needing only 10-12 minutes in the oven!
Recipe Variation
If you are not a fan of chocolate cookies, don’t worry. You can pretty much use any flavor cake mix you want! Instead of chocolate cake, you can use a yellow cake or even a lemon cake mix.
Instead of chocolate chips, you can use peanut butter chips, raspberry chips or even some chopped up nuts. The possibilities are endless!
