Some days bring on more stress and drama than others. That’s life, right? So, yesterday, I stopped everything I was doing and made some Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies, because if there is anything in this world that can turn around a hard day it’s a good chocolate chip cookie and a glass of milk.
Cake Mix Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oddly, I like my cookies with orange juice. I blame kindergarten who gave us orange juice and graham crackers. They really do taste good dipped in orange juice too.
This is one of the easiest recipes you’ll ever make and they’ll turn out each and every single time. Which I needed. I needed a simple recipe, one I didn’t have more than one item to measure. I needed a sure thing and I got it! I thought about making my Cake Mix Peanut Butter Brownies, but I hadn’t had the cookies in a while, so I went with them.
It wasn’t long before the smell of fresh baked cookies filled the air creating a warm and cozy home.
I used a yellow cake mix because that’s what I had, but you can use white or chocolate too. It doesn’t really matter what kind you use, so be creative and try out a few flavors. I also used pecans, but I’ve used walnuts or hazelnuts before and they are all delicious.
If you made smaller cookies than I did, you’d be able to get about 4 dozen, however I used a kitchen scooper to scoop out perfectly round dollops – I love finding a reason to use fun kitchen tools.

CTY says
These look great. We will give them a go and if we like them I’ll call them Emergency Chocolate Chip Cookies. Can you tell me do they come out soft & chewy or like crunchy dunkable cookies.
Kim says
I’d say they’re soft, but not gooey. But not too cakey. Try them!
