These chocolate cake mix cookies are so easy to make. Soft, chewy, and bursting with chocolate flavor. Cover them in sprinkles for a festive treat!
These are the easiest cookies I’ve ever made! Just like my peanut butter sweethearts, these cookies require minimal clean up and can be made in just one bowl. Take a box of chocolate cake mix, a couple eggs, oil, a splash of vanilla, and a bit of baking powder—and you can have homemade cookies in just 30 minutes.
They’re less work than say, these Valentine’s Day cookies, although I urge you to give those a try if you’re looking to tackle a fun baking project!
They are super soft, almost a cross between a fudgy brownie and a chewy cookie. You may leave them plain or roll them in some festive sprinkles, like these tiny hearts for Valentine’s Day. Serve them alongside a batch of pink strawberry chocolate chip cookies for an extra festive spread!
I also decorated a couple cookies with some red mini M&Ms I had leftover from my rainbow m&m cookies. Feel free to use any sprinkle/candy of choice.
These are the perfect cookies if you’re in a rush and need a chocolate treat quickly. Because we both know when that chocolate craving hits, you gotta satisfy it ASAP. These cake mix chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel frosting are great for that, too.
Enjoy!

Description
These chocolate cake mix cookies are so easy to make. Soft, chewy, and bursting with chocolate flavor. Cover them in sprinkles for a festive treat!
Ingredients
- 1 15.25 ounce box chocolate cake mix (I used Pillsbury devil’s food)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, canola oil, or melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- optional: sprinkles for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well with a rubber spatula. It will take a bit of elbow grease to get it all combined. If the cookie dough seems too sticky, chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes so it is easier to handle.
- Pour some sprinkles onto a plate or into a bowl. Form dough into tablespoon-sized balls and roll in the sprinkles.
- Bake on a parchment paper or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes. Let cool on the sheet for another 10 minutes after removing from the oven. Enjoy!
