How to Make Devil’s Food Cookies
These cookies are as easy as they look! Simply mix the batter (even with a spoon!), scoop cookie dough balls on to the cookie sheet, and bake. That’s it!
Allow the baked devil’s food cookies to cool for about 1-2 minutes before removing them to a cooling rack, and then enjoy!
The result of the baked chocolate cake mix cookies is a soft, chewy, rich cookie that is absolutely delicious.
Cookie Tips
- Don’t overbake your cookies. Overbaking the cookies can cause them to be dry and crumbly.
- Line your baking sheet. I used parchment paper for these but I also have a silicone mat that works lovely too!
- Keep soft. When storing, place a piece of bread in the container or bag, to help keep the cookies soft.
Storage
Leftovers: Allow cookies to fully cool before storing them in an airtight container or in a storage bag for up to 5 days.
To freeze: These cookies can be frozen for up to 3 months, once the cookies have fully cooled. Store in a freezer-safe container, or bag. Note: I love freezing cookies when they’re wrapped in Glad Press’n Seal, and then in a freezer-safe Ziploc.
