Ingredients

  • 1 box yellow cake mix, or any flavor (15.25 oz)
  • ½ cup butter, softened or substitute with 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or substitute with evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350℉ (325℉for dark or nonstick pans).
  • In a large bowl, beat cake mix, butter, milk, vanilla, and egg with electric mixer set to medium speed. Continue until smooth.
  • Stir in nuts and chips.
  • Drop dough by spoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
  • Bake cookie for 10-12 minutes or until edges are set (center will be soft and cookies will be very light in color). Remove from oven and cool for 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Store in a covered container.

Notes

  1. Due to the variety of cake mixes available, adjustments may be needed. If the dough is too stiff, add 1-2 tablespoons of water to make it workable.
  2. For a softer cookie, use 1/3 cup butter and 2 eggs, omitting milk.
  3. This recipe easily multiplies by starting with two cake mixes and doubling the additions for larger batches.
  4. To reduce fat, substitute half the oil with applesauce, maintaining a total of 1/2 cup.
  5. Store cookies in an airtight container with a piece of bread to keep them fresh and moist.
  6. Experiment with different cake mix and chip combinations like carrot cake mix with white chocolate chips or chocolate cake mix with peanut butter chips.
