Ingredients
  

For the Cookies:
  • 1 box Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1/3 cup canola oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Spoon or spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Oven

Method
 

Baking Steps:
  1. Step 1: Preheat Your Oven. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). It’s essential to have a hot oven ready for those cookies to bake perfectly.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Wet Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup of canola oil (or vegetable oil), 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs. Whisk them together until well combined.
  3. Step 3: Add the Cake Mix. Gradually add the 15.25-ounce box of Betty Crocker Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula or spoon until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick dough.
  4. Step 4: Fold in Chocolate Chips. Gently fold in 2/3 cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
  5. Step 5: Shape the Cookies. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Step 6: Sprinkle with Sugar. For an extra touch of sweetness, sprinkle about 1/4 cup of granulated sugar over the top of the cookie dough balls before baking.
  7. Step 7: Bake. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops are slightly cracked.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Enjoy. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix Cookies with a glass of milk or a cup of coffee!
