Delicious Fudgy Chocolate Cookies with 3 Ingredients
This is the easiest recipe to make delicious fudgy Chocolate Cookies to satisfy your sweet tooth. All you need is 3 simple ingredients, a mixing bowl, and a baking sheet then voila you have melt-in-your-mouth chocolate magic. These 3-ingredient cookies are a dream come true for chocolate lovers.
We all know that waiting stinks when the chocolate craving hits. Good news, there doesn’t have to be anymore waiting. Since this recipe has only 3 common ingredients it only takes 5 minutes to whip up a batch of cookie dough. And if you’re a chocoholic like myself then feel free to add in some chocolate chips to make CHOCOLATE CHOCOLATE chip cookies (a dream come true for chocolate lovers). Though you may need a glass of milk with these cookies to balance out the richness. Note: this recipe doesn’t exactly follow along with a low calorie diet.
This recipe uses chocolate cake mix (whoops, I ruined the surprise). The cake mix is like a secret ingredient that encompasses all the dry ingredients and produces the fudgy chewy cookies.
Prepare to be blown away on how simple (and delicious) this recipe is….
Tools I recommend:
- Measuring cup
- Medium bowl
- Cookie sheet
- Optional: parchment paper or silicone baking mat – I use a silicone baking mat any time I bake cookies to prevent them from sticking to the pan
- Cookie scoop – I use a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop for the perfect cookie size

3 Ingredient Chocolate Cookies:
- Chocolate cake mix – any type of chocolate cake mix will work great. Note: a Devil’s Cake mix will make the cookies more fudgy
- Oil
- Large eggs
How to make the Chocolate Cookies:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, and oil in the mixing bowl. Use a fork to mix the ingredients together. Note: using an electric mixer will cause the cookie dough to become slimy and shiny.
- Use a cookie scoop to place the cookie dough on the cookie sheet. Leave 1.5-2 inches between cookie dough balls.
- Bake for 8-9 minutes. Note: increase the baking time 1-2 minutes for slightly firmer cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for several minutes before moving to a cooling rack. Then enjoy!
Optional Ingredients:
In my humble opinion it’s never a bad thing to add more chocolate…
- White chocolate chips – I love the contrasting color of the dark brown cookie with the white chocolate chips
- Dark chocolate or milk chocolate chips – this may make the perfect cookies
- Nuts – who doesn’t love nuts and chocolate together?

Storage:
This delicious recipe is great for making a large batch of cookies and freezing. My favorite way to freeze cookie dough is by freezing individual cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet and then placing them in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer. The next time you want to satisfy your chocolate craving, simply grab a few dough balls out of the oven and let them thaw while the oven is preheating. Then bake according to the recipe.
To store baked cookies: allow the cookies to cool to room temperature. Then place the cookies in an airtight container. Eat the cookies within 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
