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.
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.
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.
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?

Chocolate Cookie Storage:
Store baked chocolate cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days. For longer storage options freeze the cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
How to freeze cookie dough:
Another storage option is freezing the cookie dough. Freeze the individual cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet and then place them in an airtight container for up to 3 months in the freezer.
Place the frozen cookie dough balls on a cookie sheet to thaw for 20-30 minutes. Then bake the dough according to the recipe.
