With mountains of marvelous chocolatey chunks, these 4 ingredient Chewy Chocolate Chunk Cookies are about to create a smile factory in your kitchen! Thanks to a cake mix shortcut, they're also SO quick and easy to make!
Servings: 30 cookies
Ingredients
- 13.25 ounces Betty Crocker Milk Chocolate Cake Mix (If using a 15.25 oz. box, increase butter to 1/2 cup, Chocolate Fudge cake mix can also be substituted)
- 1/3 cup Melted Butter (Vegetable or Canola Oil can be substituted)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 2/3 cup Nestle Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chunks
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.
- Stir in 1/2 of the bag of Chocolate Chunks, and set the remaining 1/2 of chunks aside.
- Cover dough and chill in refrigerator for 2 hours.
- After dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 tablespoon sized rounded balls and transfer to cookie sheet.
- Top each dough ball with additional 2 - 3 chocolate chunk pieces, pressed gently onto the top of the dough ball. (this creates a pretty effect where the chunks will show on top after they've baked)
- Bake on center oven rack for 7 - 13 minutes, or until done. (Note: Bake on the shorter end of the time range for non-stick cookie sheets & longer end of the time range for aluminum cookie sheets)
- Remove from oven and allow to cool on cookie sheets for 5 minutes.
- Transfer cookies to wire racks to finish cooling, and ENJOY!
Notes
- Butter: When baking up a batch of cake mix cookies, either salted or unsalted butter can be used, as the cake mix does come with a little salt in it. Yet, I’ve found that by using salted butter, you'll achieve a superior flavor.
- Make Ahead Tips: Cookie dough can be made ahead of time, then stored covered in the refrigerator up to 2 days prior to baking your cookies.
- Storage Tips: Leftover cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
