Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, rolled oats, and optional ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stove. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. The dough will be thick and sticky.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or medium cookie scoop, drop rounded scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked. Do not overbake to maintain soft and chewy cookies.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
