Ingredients
- 1 box (approximately 15-18 oz) chocolate cake mix
- 0.5 cup (melted) unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 0 (for topping) optional sprinkles or sea salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended, and a thick dough forms.
Step 3
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring the chunks are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
Step 5
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or colorful sprinkles on top of each cookie for added texture and flavor.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers look slightly undercooked. Do not overbake to keep the cookies soft and gooey.
Step 7
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
