Recipe Information
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
- (for topping) optional sprinkles or sea salt
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, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well blended, and a thick dough forms.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chunks using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring the chunks are evenly distributed.
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.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt or colorful sprinkles on top of each cookie for added texture and flavor.
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.
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.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
