Ingredients You'll Need
You only need a few simple ingredients for these chewy cookies!
- Box of cake mix. Devil's food cake mix is best in this recipe, but your favorite chocolate cake mix will work.
- Vegetable oil. Melted butter, avocado oil, or coconut oil will work too.
- Eggs. To keep the cookies together.
- Vanilla extract. To bring out the flavor of the chocolate.
- Mini chocolate chips. Regular sized chocolate chips will work in this recipe too.
- Powdered sugar. To roll the dough balls in and get that classic crinkle cookie look.
Equipment to Gather
- Large bowl. Big enough to make a batch of cake batter. Don't use a small bowl or a medium bowl or you might have cake mix all over your kitchen.
- Electric Mixer. A hand mixer or a stand mixer will work.
- Large Cookie Scoop
- Baking Sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Wire Rack
Let's Make Chocolate Crinkle Cookies with Cake Mix!
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add a place of parchment paper to a baking sheet. Set that aside.
In a large mixing bowl, add the dry cake mix, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and mini chocolate chips.
Combine cake mix with all the ingredients well until a stiff dough forms. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
After 10-15 minutes, add the powdered icing sugar to a shallow bowl. With a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and place it in the bowl with the powdered sugar. Roll the ball of dough in the powdered sugar and place the cookie dough balls on the prepared cookie sheets.
Bake the cookies for 7-9 minutes or until the cookies have a nice golden brown cookie bottom. These are puffy cookies and will not spread too much.
Cool the cookies in a cooling rack.
