Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick cookie sheets). In large bowl, beat cake mix, butter, milk, vanilla and egg with electric mixer on low speed until dough forms, or mix with spoon (dough will be stiff). Stir in nuts and chocolate chips.
  • 2
    Drop dough by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets, 2 inches apart.
  • 3
    Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are set (centers will be soft and cookies will be very light in color). Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered at room temperature.

  • Baking times vary depending on oven so watch these cookies closely as they bake. Take them out just before they look done and let them sit for a minute before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  • We love using chopped walnuts or pecans for the nuts, but you can use whatever nuts you have available. Don’t limit yourself to only using chocolate chips! Try using other kinds of sweet chips such as butterscotch chips or white vanilla chips to mix things up and create different flavors in your cookies. Be sure to use only 1 cup of chips to have the perfect ratio of batter to chips.
  • These cookies are perfect for making easy and delicious ice cream sandwiches! Just bake the cookies as directed and let cool completely before scooping vanilla ice cream into the center of two cookies. Press together and enjoy immediately or wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for later.
  • For a delicious twist on this easy cake mix cookie recipe, add peanut butter to the dough! Here is our recipe for easy homemade chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies.
