I do wish I could say I invented cake mix cookies, but I’ve been seeing and baking them for years. So easy and so yummy! I can say I came up with this combination of ingredients all on my own, and I’m really happy with it! This is a true chocolate lovers recipe: a chocolate base with mini chocolate chips and chocolate sprinkles! None of those rainbow sprinkles, candy canes, or nuts…just chocolate!
Triple Chocolate Cookies – makes 5 dozen
1 box (any brand) chocolate cake mix
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles
Combine cake mix, vegetable oil, and eggs in mixer bowl. Mix well until completely combined. Fold in chocolate chips and chocolate sprinkles with a spoon. Refrigerate for at least an hour (the longer the better – if you refrigerate too long and can’t scoop it out, let it sit out).
Preheat oven to 350. Scoop dough (a little less than a tablespoon each) onto cookie sheet. I read somewhere (I wish I remembered where, I’d give credit where it’s due) about the concept of “tall balls” and they work well for this cookie – instead of making a round ball, make your scooped dough into a little mound that’s higher than it is wide (see picture, which unfortunately doesn’t look good, but wait…the cookies look really good).
Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool for a minute before removing to baking racks to cool.
Yay chocolate!
