I can’t be the only one who gets a hankering for chocolate chip cookies out of nowhere.
When this happens I usually make a batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookies or microwave chocolate chip cookie recipe.
But sometimes I’m out of brown sugar, realize my baking soda / baking powder is expired, or am just plain lazy and want a shortcut.
That is where these cake mix chocolate chip cookies come in.
I just mix the 4 ingredients together, scoop onto baking sheets, and bake for 10 minutes. Quick and easy as can be.
In just a few minutes I am enjoying freshly-baked, soft chocolate chip cookies. Man, I love cake mix hacks!

You will need:
- Box of cake mix – vanilla, french vanilla, or yellow cake mix will all work well for this recipe

Baking Tips
- By nature, cake mix cookies spread a decent amount during baking. To help minimize spreading use parchment paper to line your cookie sheets rather than greasing them which can cause additional spreading.
- Make the size and shape of your dough balls the same to ensure even baking.
- Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt to the top of the cookies for added flavor.
