    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.

    Ingredients

    • 15.25 ounces devil's food cake mix
    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 eggs
    • ½ cup chocolate chips

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350° F.
    • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cake mix, 2 eggs, ½ cup and vegetable oil with a spoon.
    • Next, add the chocolate chips and stir those in until fully incorporated.
    • Using a cookie scoop, (or a spoon, and rolling the cookie dough in to balls), spoon out cookie dough balls on to a lined baking sheet, placing the balls, 2 inches apart.
    • Place the baking sheet in to the preheated oven, and bake for 8 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 1-2 minutes before removing them, carefully, to a cooling rack. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before enjoying!

    Notes

    To Store: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container (after they’ve cooled) and enjoy within 5 days. Tip: Place a piece of bread in the container with the cookies to help keep the cookies soft.
    To Freeze: Place in freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. (See post for best freezing tips.)
