Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15.25 oz) Chocolate cake mix
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup (softened) Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 0.25 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, softened butter, and vanilla extract. Stir together until a thick dough forms. You can use a spatula or an electric mixer on low speed.
Step 3
Fold in the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each cookie for a salted chocolate flavor.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the middle still looks slightly soft. Be careful not to overbake.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
