Triple Chocolate Cookies
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker Triple Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix , (if using a 15.25 oz. box, increase butter to 1/2 cup, Chocolate Fudge can also be substituted)
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter, (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 2/3 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, (10 ounces)
Instructions
- Gather your ingredients.
- Combine Cake Mix, Melted Butter (or oil), and Eggs in large mixing bowl, and mix with hand mixer or stand mixer until well combined.

Notes
- Butter: When it comes to Cake Mix Cookies, salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix will have a little salt in it. However, I’ve found that salted butter will result in superior flavor.

You’re very welcome!
First time I used a cake mix – I’m in love –
easy to make nice looking and taste great.:-)
So glad you liked them, Elisabeth! 😉
Do you add the cake mix eggs water and oil to the 2 eggs on the recipe???
Hi Leigh Ann ~ you’ll ignore the recipe on the cake mix box and just follow the recipe above… using the dry cake mix, 2 eggs, and oil. Hope that helps! 😉
hi!! I love love these cookies but why do mine flatten after baking!?? They look nothing like your picture!! Any idea?
Did you chill your dough before baking? Also, do not use warm pans, like the one that you just removed cookies from, use a room temp pan. Hope this helps!
