Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
When I was little, my mom would occasionally make us Chocolate Chip cookies from a cake mix. I forgot about it until some friends and I were talking one day. I searched around and found a recipe (not sure if it’s the same one my mom uses or not) to try. That was January 2013. I was organizing my photo files on the computer to back them up, and came across several recipe pictures that I hadn’t shared with you yet. I found the recipe on a post it note in the cabinet with my baking supplies, and honestly have no idea where I found it. I searched Pinterest and did a Google search tonight looking so I could give credit, but came up with nothing.
In my area, boxed cake mixes often go on sale for $1 per box. I save up my coupons to use when there is a sale so I can get them at a fantastic price. Of course my kids love my Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies too, but these are quick and easy when I need a fast snack for them, and they are quite versatile too. You can use any combination of flavors. For example, Devils Food Chocolate Cake Mix and Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips or Strawberry Cake mix with White Chocolate Chips. There are so many different cake mix flavors and types of chips available. I’ve seen some Holiday and Fall Flavors in the supermarket, I’m thinking of trying out a Pumpkin Chocolate Chip combination soon!
- 1 Box White Cake Mix
- 2 Eggs
- 3/4 Cup Oil
- 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
- Dash of Salt
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
- This is super easy.
- Pre-heat oven to 350
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
- Scoop out by teaspoon full onto Parchment Lined Cookie Sheet (helps prevent burning and sticking to pan!)
- Bake about 10 minutes until golden brown.
These are a few items I find useful in my own kitchen when preparing this Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe:

I love the idea of varying the cake mix recipe to go with the chocolate chips! If you want to go for a really sweet treat, you can frost the cookies as well. You can coordinate the cookie color and flavor according to holidays, personalized favorites, and special occasions!
