Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 15.25 ounces chocolate cake mix (432 grams, 1 standard box)
Wet Ingredients
- â…“ cup vegetable oil (66 grams)
- 2 large eggs (100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (4 grams)
Add-ins
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (340 grams)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper. This step ensures cookies bake evenly and don’t stick.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Stir the mixture thoroughly until it is smooth and fully incorporated, forming the cookie dough base.
- Add White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the white chocolate chips into the dough using a spatula or spoon, distributing them evenly without overmixing.
- Shape Cookies: Using your hands or a scoop, form the dough into 2-inch balls. Place six dough balls on each prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the tops of the cookies start to look dry and the edges become crispy. Avoid overbaking to keep the centers soft.
- Cool Cookies: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them carefully to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Repeat and Serve: Repeat shaping and baking with the remaining dough. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For softer cookies, bake closer to 9 minutes; for crisper edges, bake closer to 11 minutes.
- If you prefer a chocolate variation, substitute white chocolate chips with semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips.
- Ensure eggs are at room temperature to help the dough mix evenly.
- Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking can help reduce spreading if desired.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
