Chocolate chip cake mix cookies are the easiest four-ingredient cookies you can make. From baking pan to plate in under 10 minutes these quick cookies will be gobbled up in no time.
These cookies would go great on a holiday cookie tray along with my homemade Pittsburgh nut roll, soft caramels (don't forget the sea salt!), Hershey Kiss Cookies (a classic!) and oreo cookie balls.

📝 Ingredient notes:
- Yellow cake mix - I love the buttery flavor that a yellow cake mix brings to this recipe.
- Eggs - pro tip: leave your eggs on the countertop for 30 minutes to come to room temperature before adding them to the cookie batter.
- Chocolate chips
🔄 Substitutions
- Vegetable oil - If you are out of vegetable oil substitute in equal parts applesauce. I like unsweetened applesauce.
🔃 Variations
Switch out the chocolate chips for peanut butter chips, butterscotch chips or white chocolate chips. To make these a cake mix chocolate chip cookie with nuts, swap out ½ of the chocolate chips for your favorite nut. I love walnuts but pecans would also be a delicious option. Just be sure to toast the pecans first to bring out the full flavor.
Use a chocolate cake mix in place of the yellow cake mix and switch out the milk chocolate chips for white chocolate chips to make a chocolate/chocolate chip cake mix cookie.
